  3. Gradually add the chocolate pudding mix, continuing to blend until everything is well incorporated and thickened.
  4. Gently fold in the whipped topping into the pudding mixture using a spatula.
  5. In a trifle dish, start by adding a layer of crushed Oreo crumbs, then spoon a layer of the pudding mixture on top. Repeat layering until all filling and cookies are used.
  6. Cover the assembled cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  7. Just before serving, add festive marshmallow Peeps and colorful pastel candies on top.
