Ingredients:

• 2 packages Oreo Cookies
• 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup confectioners' sugar
• 3-1/3 cups cold milk

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, butter and sugar. In a bowl, whisk the milk and pudding mix for 2 minutes. Add to cream cheese mixture; mix well. Fold in whipped topping. Split pudding into 3 equal portions. Add red food coloring to one portion, blue food coloring to another, and leave the 3rd as is.
