Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Crush about 20 chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin in a zip-top bag. Mix in 2-3 tablespoons of melted butter if desired. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9x13 inch dish.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat 8 ounces of softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add 1 cup of powdered sugar, then gently fold in 1 cup of whipped topping. Spread over the crust and chill for 30 minutes.
  3. Whisk together 2 cups of cold milk and 1 package of instant vanilla pudding mix. Stir for about 2 minutes until thickened, then fold in another cup of whipped topping. Spread over the cream cheese layer.
  4. If desired, melt chocolate for a ganache or use chocolate whipped topping. Spread this layer over the pudding layer.
  5. Spread the remaining whipped topping across the top, and sprinkle with crushed peppermint candies and M&Ms. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
