Directions:
1. Prepare the Crust:
In a medium bowl, combine the crushed Golden Oreos and melted butter. Mix until evenly coated. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9x13-inch dish to form an even crust. Refrigerate while preparing the layers.
2. Make the Cream Cheese Layer:
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Fold in the whipped topping. Spread this mixture evenly over the chilled crust and refrigerate.
3. Prepare the Pudding Layer:
In a large bowl, whisk together the pudding mix and cold milk until thickened. Divide the pudding into two bowls. Color one bowl red and the other green with food coloring. Spread the green pudding layer over the cream cheese layer, then top with the red pudding layer. Smooth each layer gently with a spatula.
4. Add the Topping:
Spread the whipped topping evenly over the top layer. Decorate with holiday sprinkles, crushed candy canes, or other festive garnishes.
5. Chill and Serve:
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set. Slice into squares and serve this colorful, layered dessert!
