Oreo Cream Cheese Dessert

Scibba's Note:

This is one of the best tasting deserts I've ever had. It's so quick and easy! A family and friend hit ALL THE TIME! At during Halloween, you could decorate with Cool Whip ghosts. For my nieces Birthday party, my sister had a 'garden theme'. She put the servings in individual dishes and hid a gummy worm inside! Was a hit with all of the kids!

12. It is not necessary to refrigerate overnight, but it is easier to cut and serve if you do!

I brought this to a Thanksgiving dinner as the "kids" dessert - and everyone, including the adults loved it. It's very much like a mud pie dessert. I have a similar recipe that uses peanut butter mixed in with the cream cheese and coolwhip - that might be a tasty variation!

Wow, tasty, quick and so easy. This was very good, I only had 3.5 oz of choclate pudding & 3.5 oz of creamcheese pudding, but it didn't change the yummy dessert. This will be made again and again. I usually have these items on hand!

I only give four stars because I feel that there was some important steps missing... although it is a rather delightful recipe when you just use it as base. Let me elaborate on what was missing.. "1/2 cup butter"...right, but it SHOULD be melted... much like one would make a cheesecake crust. So I melted the butter THEN mixed the crumbs in... and I also baked the crust for about 15-20 minutes on 350 heat to get it a little more "together". After it cooled, then you could put the rest on it... I used this recipe...just added 1/2 tsp of vanilla to the cream cheese/cool whip mix like one of the other commenters suggested (BTW, I used Fat Free Cool Whip and Cream Cheese). I also MIXED the second cool whip tub with the chocolate pudding after it was made. tastes wonderful.. looks great b/c i decorated it with sour worms and remaining crumbs.
