My husband requested this as his birthday cake this year (yup, seriously, for his 30th birthday :-)). I followed the directions exactly and we enjoyed it. I made it in a trifle dish and it was surprisingly pretty!

I followed the recipe ingredients exactly and used clear plastic solo cups for individual servings. The recipe is delicious and easy to do, the only part that was cumbersome to me was chopping the cookies. Once that part was done it was all easy and fast. I really dont understand the reviews that state they ommited the sugar and butter because of the sweeetness. Leaving out the powdered sugar is not going to do ANYTHING to change the fact that there are an entire package of cookies,2 boxes of pudding mix and a container of cool whip...so Im not sure what ommiting the powdered sugar will accomplish but ruining the recipe. This is a sweeet dessert, most desserts that are tasty are sweet..trust me do not alter the ingredients or leave an item out! You wont be disapointed! If sweet isnt your thing, you should probably try a different recipe all together. I will be making this again and again!

Took it to a Halloween content and won second place, off of looks but received so many compliments about the taste. I believe it would have won first if we voted after we tasted.

I used to make this for my shop when I was in the Navy. It was a huge hit throughout the squadron as a lot of people would say "I loved that stuff when I was a kid." People who have not tried it would wait outside the shop to see if there were any leftovers, and most ended up walking away empty handed unless I made an extra batch for that purpose.

This recipe was delicious! The vanilla pudding gave the sweetness along with the oreos, I will definitely make this recipe again.

I just finished making this recipe for a BBQ we are attending today. Makes a great impression, however, I didn't really see the need for the confectioners' sugar. Because there was already so much sugar in this recipe (from the cookies), I purchased sugar-free vanilla pudding. The consistency of the pudding/cream mixture turned out very sticky/gooey. I was thinking it would be more pudding-like? I ended up adding a lot more milk than the recipe called for to get it to be more smooth and creamy. Also, 32 ounces of cookies...is that an actual measurement, or do you go by the ounces on the package? If you measure out the Oreos, 1 package is 32oz. If you go by what the weight of the actual Oreo package, then you need 2 packages. I used 2 and I had enough. Same with the pudding. The biggest box I could find was 1.5oz. So, I had to purchase about 7 boxes to make 3.5oz. Again, didn't seem like enough milk for all that, considering the recipe on one 1.5oz. box calls for 3.5 cups of milk. Granted, you are adding cool whip, butter, etc., but without adding additonal milk, my mixture was too lumpy and sticky. All in all, I think it turned out okay with my tweaks. I thought there was a lot of fuss for what should be a simple recipe. You could just make instant pudding, add some cool whip and be done. No need to fuss with the cream cheese, powdered sugar, butter...will try it that way the next time.
