Ingredients
8 tbsp salted sweet cream butter, melted
36 Oreo cookies, crushed into fine crumbs
16 oz cream cheese, softened
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup powdered sugar
16 oz whipped topping
2 cups cold whole milk
6.8 oz vanilla pudding mix
1 1/2 tsp caramel flavoring
1 cup peanuts, chopped
2 1/2 cups turtle candies, chopped
Chocolate syrup, for drizzling
Caramel sundae syrup, for drizzling
Instructions
- Combine the crushed Oreo cookies with the melted butter until evenly moistened.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish to form the crust.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Fold in the whipped topping until fully incorporated, then spread evenly over the crust.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the cold milk, vanilla pudding mix, and caramel flavoring until thickened.
- Spread the pudding mixture evenly over the cream cheese layer.
- Sprinkle the chopped turtle candies and peanuts over the pudding layer.
- Drizzle generously with chocolate syrup and caramel sundae syrup.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before slicing and serving.
Notes
For a richer flavor, substitute chocolate pudding for the vanilla pudding.
Use chopped pecans instead of peanuts for a classic turtle candy flavor.
Add a drizzle of melted dark chocolate for extra decadence.
Golden sandwich cookies can be used in place of Oreos for a sweeter crust.
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Freeze for up to 2 months and thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
