Cool Striped Dessert

What's great about this recipe is that you can alter it into different variations and never get bored of this yummy dessert.  It's so simple, yet very tasty!  This is one of our summertime absolute favorites.  Change the pudding flavor and the cookie crust and you've got a variation of this dessert all your own!

35 Oreo sandwich cookies, finely crushed (about 3 cups)
     (for different variations try nilla wafers, graham crackers, or ginger snaps)
6 Tbsp. butter, melted
1 pkg (8oz) Cream Cheese, softened
1/4 c sugar
2T cold milk
1 tub (12oz) Cool Whip, thawed & divided
3 1/4 c cold milk
2 pkgs (4 svg size each) Jell-0 Chocolate Flavor Instant Pudding & Pie Filling

Mix crushed cookies and butter in med bowl.  Press firmly into bottom of 13x9 baking dish, refrigerate 10 min.
Beat cream cheese, sugar and 2T milk in med bowl with wire whisk 2 min or until blended well.  Spread over crust.
Pour 3 1/4 cups milk into large bowl.  Add dry pudding mixes.  Beat with wire whisk 2 min and spread over cream cheese layer.  Let stand 5 min or until thickened.  Drop remaining whipped topping by spoonfuls over pudding layer & spread evenly to cover pudding.
Refrigerate at least 4 hours.  Cut into 24 squares.  Store in refrigerator.
