1 cup powdered sugar

For the topping:

Instructions:

Prepare the base:

- In a medium bowl, combine the crushed cookies with melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish to form a crust. Set aside in the fridge while you prepare the next layer.
Make the creamy layer:
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and well combined.
- Add the whipped topping and vanilla extract to the mixture and fold until fully incorporated.
Assemble the layers:
- Spread the creamy mixture evenly over the chilled cookie crust.
- Drizzle caramel sauce over the creamy layer.
Top the dessert:
- Sprinkle the chopped chocolate candy bars and crushed cookies (if using) evenly over the top of the dessert.
- Drizzle with chocolate syrup for extra flavor.
Chill and set:
- Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2–3 hours or overnight for the layers to firm up.
Serve and enjoy:
