Oreo Cookie Cake (which is not a cake at all)

My sister Karen has been asking me for this recipe, and since it is one of our family's favorites I thought I would post it here, in case anyone else is interested in a mind-bogglingly yummy dessert...

Oreo Cookie Cake

CRUST 1 pkg Oreos
1/2 cup melted butter/ marg
(crush cookies, mix with butter, press into 9x13 and chill)


MIDDLE LAYER:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup confectioner's sugar
8 oz cool whip (or can buy 12 oz, see end)
(mix cream cheese & sugar w/ mixer, add in
cool whip and spread over crust. Chill.

TOP LAYER: 2 small pkg instant chocolate pudding
3 & half cups milk
(Mix up pudding, pour over cream cheese, chill.)

*If you bought a 12 oz cool whip, use the extra to spread around a little on the top and top with more crumbled Oreos. I skip this because I am lazy and just want to get to eatin'.
