Instructions

Prepare the crust: Crush the Golden Oreo cookies until finely ground. Melt the butter and mix it thoroughly with the cookie crumbs and optional red gel food coloring to tint the crust. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a baking dish to form a solid crust. Place the crust in the freezer to firm up while preparing the filling.
Make the filling: Beat the cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and mix well to combine. Fold in the roughly chopped Fireworks Oreo cookies and the cool whip gently to maintain a light texture. Spread this filling evenly over the chilled crust in the baking dish.
Chill to set: Cover the assembled cheesecake bars with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set and firm.
Add toppings and serve: Once chilled and set, sprinkle additional chopped Oreo cookies, red, white, and blue sprinkles or candies on top. Optionally, add pop rocks candy for a fun popping sensation. Slice into bars and enjoy your festive no bake Oreo cheesecake bars!

Notes

Using room temperature cream cheese ensures a smooth, lump-free filling.
Adjust powdered sugar to taste for desired sweetness.
No-taste red gel food coloring is optional but adds festive color to the crust.
Pop rocks are optional but add a unique popping texture for celebrations.
Freezing the crust before adding filling helps prevent sogginess.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but overnight chilling improves texture.
Use Fireworks Oreo cookies for the filling if available to enhance flavor and texture.
