Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crust:
   • Finely crush the Oreo cookies in a food processor. Stir in melted butter until all crumbs are moistened.
   • Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish, compressing it firmly to create an even layer. Chill in the freezer while preparing the next layer.
2. Cream Cheese Layer:
   • In a bowl, beat together the softened butter, powdered sugar, and cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
   • Fold in the Cool Whip until well combined.
   • Spread the mixture over the chilled crust. Place back into the fridge to set while you prepare the pudding layer.
3. Chocolate Pudding Layer:
   • In a large bowl, whisk together the chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until thickened, usually about 5 minutes.
   • Stir in the Cool Whip until no streaks remain.
   • Spread the pudding over the cream cheese layer. Chill for about 20 minutes until set.
4. Final Layer and Topping:
   • Spread the remaining Cool Whip over the pudding layer.
   • Sprinkle mini marshmallows across the top, as many as you prefer for texture and sweetness.
   • Drizzle with chocolate syrup or melted chocolate.
5. Chill and Serve:
   • Refrigerate the dessert for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the layers to firm up.
   • Slice into squares and serve cold. Enjoy!

Notes:

• Make sure all your dairy ingredients are at room temperature to ensure a smooth cream cheese layer.
• For the whipped cream, you can use Cool Whip for convenience or make your own by whipping heavy cream with a bit of sugar until stiff peaks form.
• For a firmer chocolate pudding layer, let the pudding set slightly before spreading over the cream cheese layer.
