- 36 Oreo cookies (more if you want to decorate)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 - 8 oz. pkg. cream cheese, room temperature

- 2 Tbsp. chocolate bar, finely grated (optional)
- 1 cup 2% milk
- 3.4 oz. box instant chocolate pudding mix

Using a food processor, grind Oreos into crumbs. Mix with melted butter and press firmly in bottom of 13 x 9" baking dish lightly sprayed with non-stick spray. Place in fridge to set up.
Using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese and sugar together. Add optional grated chocolate, milk, and pudding. Scrape sides of bowl until everything is thoroughly mixed.
Spread chocolate layer onto crust and return to fridge to set up for at least 30 minutes.
Carefully dollop pie filling onto chocolate, spreading as little as possible to avoid muddling layers.
Carefully dollop Cool Whip onto pie filling, spreading as little as possible to (you guessed it) avoid muddling layers.
