Trifle bowl or a 9x13 baking pan, or individual dessert dishes

food processor

Crush oreos in a mixer. Add ¼ cup peanut butter and blend till crumbled.
Combine milk, cream and pudding mixes. Blend on low for 2 minutes. Refrigerate.
Cream together cream cheese and ½ cup peanut butter until smooth. Add vanilla and icing sugar, beat till very smooth.
Add set pudding, and beat on low speed until incorporated. Fold in ½ tub cool whip.
Layer pudding mixture, then cookie crumbs. Repeat, leaving top with cookie crumbs.
Sprinkle candy coated chocolate on the top, or other candy such as gummy worms, etc. Top each serving with more cool whip if desired.

Use a food processor to crush the Oreo cookies if you have one. If you do not have a food processor, place cookies in a zippered bag and crush with a rolling pin.
Crush Oreos ahead of time. And while the food processor is out, crush up a bunch and freeze for future recipes!
Microwave cream cheese 20 seconds to soften slightly and make it easier to blend.
Use whole milk, or use the combination of 1% milk and cream for a thicker and creamier dessert.
I used my new 8" trifle bowl from Stokes and it was perfect for this recipe. A larger bowl will also work, a 9x13" pan, or even scoop into individual dessert dishes for tasty dirt cake cups.
