Notes

For neat slices, make sure the crust is pressed firmly and chill until the layers are firm. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Freezing is possible, though the whipped topping may change texture after thawing. For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free chocolate sandwich cookies and check that the pudding mix is labeled gluten-free.
