Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by crushing the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs, reserving ½ cup for topping. Press the remaining crumbs into the bottom of a 9×13 inch dish for the crust.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and unsalted butter until smooth and fluffy. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, mixing well.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the instant vanilla pudding mix with cold milk until thickened. Let it rest for 5 minutes.
  4. Gently fold the thickened pudding into the cream cheese mixture until smooth. Set aside.
  5. Spread the filling evenly over the crust, smoothing it out. Sprinkle reserved Oreo crumbs, mini Oreos, and candy on top.
  6. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
