Preparation of Crust
  1. Crush the Oreos using a food processor or a resealable bag with a rolling pin until crumbly.
  2. Mix the crushed Oreos with the melted butter until evenly combined.
  3. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 13x9-inch pan to form a solid crust.
  4. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes to help it harden if too crumbly.
Cream Cheese Layer
  1. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and peppermint extract until creamy.
  2. Gently fold in 1 cup of Cool Whip for a light texture.
  3. Add a few drops of green food dye if desired, and dollop over the crust. Spread evenly with a spatula.
Pudding Layer
  1. In a separate bowl, whisk the pudding mixes and milk together for about 2 minutes until thickened.
  2. Pour the pudding over the cream cheese mixture, ensuring even distribution.
Assembly and Refrigeration

  3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
