Whisk together the vanilla pudding mix and cold milk in a large bowl until it starts to thicken, after about 1-2 minutes.

Add the thawed whipped topping, and fold it in gently with a spatula. Set aside.

Place a single layer of Golden Oreos in the bottom of an 8x8 baking dish or pan. Cut a couple of Oreos in half to fill in the empty spaces.

Spoon about half of the pudding over the Oreo layer and spread evenly.

Place another singer layer of Oreos over the pudding, then spread the rest of the pudding on top.

Sprinkle the crushed Oreos on top, cover with plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours. (Overnight is best for the Oreos to soften slightly.)

Slice and serve chilled.
