Description

Ingredients

• 36 Chocolate Mint Oreos
• 4 Tbsp butter, melted
• 1 box (3.4 oz) Chocolate instant pudding mix
• 1 cup milk
• 1 tsp mint extract (MINT, not peppermint)
• 4 cups Cool Whip (about 2 8-oz pkgs), divided
• About ½ cup Andes mints, chopped

Directions

• Place 20 cookies in a gallon size resealable bag and begin crushing the cookies with a rolling pin or meat mallet until the cookies become coarse crumbs. Pour the cookie crumbs into a large bowl with the melted butter and toss to combine. Press into a greased 8 or 9-inch square baking dish, compacting them loosely in there. Set aside.
• Wipe out the bowl and add in the pudding mix, mint extract and milk, whisking until combined and letting sit for 2 minutes. Add in one package (2 cups) of the Cool Whip, folding it in until combined. Carefully spread this mixture over the cookies in the pan.
• Spread the remaining Cool Whip over the top of the chocolate mint pudding layer.
• Crush the remaining cookies in another plastic bag until coarse crumbs as formed. Sprinkle the cookies over the top with the mint candy pieces. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours before cutting into slices to serve.
