Then the pudding mix is folded into the cream cheese mixture. Cool Whip is gently stirred into the mixture. Crushed Oreos are spread into the bottom of a baking dish. The pudding mixture is spread on top before adding more crushed Oreos and sprinkling with crushed M&M’s. The dish is refrigerated several hours before serving. This delicious cake is easy to find in the fridge.

In a 9×13-inch dish, add half of the crushed Oreos.

Use the back of a spoon to spread the oreos to cover the bottom of the pan.

In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth.

Then add powdered sugar and mix until fully combined.

Beat until combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until thickened.
