Directions
- Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a resealable plastic bag. Using a rolling pin, crush the cookies until they resemble dirt.

- Fold the whipped topping into the chocolate pudding mixture until well combined.
- Spread half of the pudding mixture over the cookie crust in the baking dish.
