1 Family Size package of Golden Oreos ((around 540g))
¾ cup unsalted butter melted
1 package cream cheese, softened (8-ounce)
¼ cup white sugar
1 cup powdered sugar
2 cups Cool Whip
¾ cup crushed peppermint candy canes ((easiest way to crush is to use a food processor))
2 3/4 cups cold milk
2 boxes Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix
Remaining Cool Whip

Steps:

Prepare a 13" x 9" baking dish by lining with parchment paper or spray with nonstick spray.
Use a food processor to turn the Golden Oreos into crumbs. Mix these crumbs with melted butter then press into the 13" x 9" baking dish. Put this crust in the freezer while you prepare the next layer.
In a large bowl, cream the cream cheese. Then add the white sugar, powdered sugar, and Cool Whip and mix until combined. Make certain not to over mix the cream cheese layer.
Stir in ½ cup of the crushed candy canes. You don't want to over mix or beat this in as it will turn this layer pink - unless you like pink desserts! Set aside the remaining ¼ cup of crushed candy canes for the topping.
Use a spatula to smooth this layer over the prepared crust. Pop the baking dish back into the freezer while you prepare the next layer.
Beat dry pudding mix and milk until the mixture starts to thicken (about 2 minutes). Use a spatula to evenly smooth this layer over top of the cream cheese candy cane layer.
Pop back into the freezer for 10 minutes.
Smooth remaining Cool Whip over the top of the dessert and sprinkle with remaining candy canes.
