2 (6 ounce) Jell-o Chocolate Fudge Instant Pudding Mix
5 cups whole milk
1 package Oreo cookies (all 3 rows)
¼ teaspoon Peppermint oil (food Grade)
1 (28 ounce) container of Cool Whip
2 candy canes, broken into small pieces (for garnish)
1 Hersey’s dark chocolate bar (grated finely)

Instructions

Mix chocolate pudding as directed on box.
Chill pudding in refrigerator until ready to layer.
In food processor add entire package of cookies and the peppermint oil, pulse until all cookies form a fine crumb.
No visible white center should be present.
In trifle dish layer the cookie mix, chocolate pudding, cool whip, and grated dark chocolate until you have at least three layers of each.
This desert looks best in a trifle dish.
Save some dark chocolate shavings to sprinkle as garnish on the final top layer with the crushed peppermint.
You can cut this in half if you are making it for a smaller group – it can be put into individual cups. Note: This is best made one day ahead and should be stored in refrigerator for up to 24 hours before serving.

Notes

TIP: Do not add the candy cane pieces to the top until ready to serve, they will melt.
