This was very easy to make and it tastes delicious! I only used an 8 oz container of whipped topping and I still couldn't fit the whole filling into the crust. I also used Girl Scout thin mint cookies. Would definitely make this again.

Quick to make and very tasty. I crushed some extra cookies and sprinkled them on top.
