Goldrush Bars

I have Holly to thank for this recipe.  I tweaked it a little to get a bit more stability and increase the Oreo to filling ratio because I like it that way.


Ingredients:
1 pkg Golden Oreo Cookies (I don't really recommend double stuffed)
1/4 stick of butter, softened
1/2 a block of cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 3/4 cup of milk
1 small box of cheesecake flavored instant pudding

Directions:
 Step one is to crush your Oreos.  There are two basic ways to do this: the first is to stick them in a blender and the second is to put them in a ziploc and beat them into bits.  I enjoy the second.

In a small bowl, mash together your butter and cream cheese with the back of a spoon.  Add the powdered sugar and squish together until it's all mixed.

In a larger bowl, whisk milk and pudding mix until the pudding starts to get firm.  Add in the cream cheese mix and whisk out the lumps.

In a 9x9 (or 8x8) brownie pan, cover the bottom with Oreo crumbs.  Cover with all of the filling and spread around so everything is covered.  Sprinkle the top with more Oreo crumbs, as much as you want.

Chill until firm (at least 2 hours)
