Instructions

Prepare Oreos: Set aside about 5 Oreos if you wish to use them for garnish later.
Make Oreo crumbs: Pulse the remaining Oreos finely in a food processor until you achieve fine crumbs. You may also crush them by hand if a processor is unavailable.
Form crust: In a large bowl, combine the melted butter with Oreo crumbs. Then, press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch pan, forming the pie crust layer.
Mix filling: Using an electric mixer, beat the softened cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth. Add half of the Cool Whip, peanut butter, and powdered sugar. Beat on medium-high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Assemble filling: Spread the peanut butter filling evenly over the Oreo crust in the pan.
Prepare pudding: Follow package instructions to combine instant chocolate pudding mix with cold milk. Once the pudding sets, spread it evenly over the peanut butter filling layer.
Add whipped topping: Spread the remaining Cool Whip evenly over the chocolate pudding layer to finish the pie.
Garnish: Decorate the top with the reserved crumbled Oreos or chocolate shavings, if desired.
Chill: Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours to allow all layers to set and flavors to meld before serving.

Notes

This pie requires no baking, making it a quick and easy dessert option.
Ensure the cream cheese is softened for a smooth filling without lumps.
If using a different size pan, adjust the thickness of the layers accordingly.
For extra peanut butter flavor, swirl some peanut butter on top before chilling.
The pie can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
