Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by crushing about 24 chocolate sandwich cookies until you achieve a fine crumb texture. Set aside half of the crumbs for garnishing.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together one package of instant chocolate pudding mix with 2 cups of cold milk. Mix for about 2 minutes until thick.
  3. Once the pudding is ready, gently fold in one cup of creamy peanut butter and 8 ounces of thawed frozen whipped topping until smooth.
  4. Take a 9x13 inch dish, and press half of the reserved cookie crumbs to form the crust. Spread the creamy pudding mixture evenly over the crust.
  5. Sprinkle the remaining cookie crumbs generously over the top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
