Instructions

Crush about two-thirds of the Oreo cookies and spread them evenly across the bottom of a 9×13-inch pan.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth, then stir in the powdered sugar and gently fold in the whipped topping.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the pudding mix, milk, and vanilla extract until thickened, then fold this mixture into the cream cheese base.
Pour the creamy mixture over the cookie base, spread to the edges, and sprinkle with the remaining crushed Oreos.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours to set, then decorate with Peeps, candy eggs, and edible grass just before serving.

Notes

To ensure a perfectly smooth filling, make sure the cream cheese and butter are completely at room temperature before mixing. If you prefer a more stable cake, let it chill overnight; however, always wait until the last minute to add the candy decorations to keep them from absorbing moisture and losing their texture.
