1/2 cup fudge ice cream topping, warmed
1 8oz tub Cool Whipped Topping, thawed, divided
1 pkg (4 serving) Jell-O Chocolate Flavor Instant Pudding & Pie Filling
8 Oreo Sandwich Cookies
12 vanilla ice cream sandwiches
Pour the fudge topping into a medium bowl. Stir in 1 cup of the shipped topping with a wire whisk until it’s well blended. Add in the dry pudding mix; stir 2 min or until well blended. If your fudge topping mixture is too thick to spread easily, stir 1/4 cup milk. Chop Oreo cookies into small chunks and stir in pudding mixture. Arrange 4 of the ice cream sandwiches side by side on a line flat platter. Top with half of the pudding mixture and repeat the layers. Frost the top and sides with remaining whipped topping. Cover and freeze at least 4 hours before serving. Store leftover in the freezer. Makes 12 servings.
