  2. Press the Oreo mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish to create a crust.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened 8 ounces of cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add in the 1 cup of sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and ½ teaspoon of peppermint extract, mixing until combined.
  4. Fold in the 18 ounce container of whipped topping and then the ¾ cup of mini chocolate chips.
  5. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the Oreo crust.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mix and 1 ½ cups of milk until thickened.
  7. Pour the pudding over the cream cheese layer, spreading it gently.
  8. Mix a few drops of green food coloring into the remaining whipped topping and spread over the pudding.
  9. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  10. Garnish with additional mini chocolate chips or crushed Oreos before serving.
