Notes
Do not remove the cream centers from the cookies. Use regular Oreos, not Double Stuff. 36 cookies = 3 cups of crumbs.
Use 2 boxes of instant pudding, do not use Cook n Serve.
For a fancier presentation, substitute shaved chocolate for the chocolate chips. Use a vegetable peeler to shave a bar of bittersweet chocolate, creating short or long ribbons to sprinkle on top. There's less sugar in a bittersweet bar, it simply shaves better creating prettier chocolate shavings.
If you have extra time, I highly recommend popping the dessert into the freezer after each step. It makes it easier to spread each layer.
If you prefer, you can use an equal amount of homemade whipped topping instead of Cool Whip. To substitute whisk 3 cups of heavy whipping cream until medium peaks form.
You can make this dessert up to 3 days ahead, keep refrigerated.
