Ingredients

1 package (14.3 oz) chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
2 packages (3.9 oz each) instant chocolate pudding mix
3 cups milk
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
1/2 cup crushed peppermint candies for garnish
Additional whipped topping for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine crushed chocolate sandwich cookies and melted butter. Mix until well combined, then press the mixture into the bottom of a 9×13 inch dish to form the crust.
Make the Cream Cheese Layer: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth. Fold in the whipped topping until well combined. Spread this mixture evenly over the cookie crust.
Prepare the Chocolate Pudding: In another bowl, whisk together the chocolate pudding mix and milk until thickened, about 2 minutes. Pour the pudding over the cream cheese layer and spread evenly.
Add Peppermint Flavor: Drizzle the peppermint extract over the pudding layer and gently swirl it in with a spatula.
Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the layers to set.
Serve: Before serving, garnish with additional whipped topping and sprinkle crushed peppermint candies on top for a festive touch.
