🥘 Ingredients
Oreo cookies- You can use any flavor of Oreo cookies for this recipe. While I like chocolate cookies, using golden Oreos would make for a festive birthday theme.
Sprinkles- It's important that you use the Jimmie sprinkles, not nonpareils or confetti types. This is because other types of sprinkles will melt under the heat, while jimmies will hold their shape.
Butter- You will need some melted butter to bring the cookie crumbs and sprinkles together.

🍴 Recipe Tips
Don't use baked fillings in the crust
While this Oreo pie crust recipe is baked to help it set, I do not recommend using it with baked fillings. Baked fillings may cause the sprinkles to deteriorate and leave the crust not looking as fabulous as it could.
Great filling ideas include cream pie fillings, no bake cheesecakes, and chocolate ganache if you're looking for a more traditional tart idea.
💭 FAQs
I recommend sticking with the jimmies type of sprinkles and nothing else. The nonpareils will be hard to chew and not show up well due to size, whereas confetti sprinkles won't look be able to show off their fun shapes. Jimmies will hold up to the moisture, have minimal baking, and still look great. Use any colors preferred.
You can place your cookies inside a gallon-sized Ziploc baggie and bash, roll, or smush them with a rolling pin or the bottom of a canned veggie.
Yes, you can blend your cookies pretty well inside a high powdered blender. I would recommend adding the crumbs to a mixing bowl and stirring in the melted butter and sprinkles instead of trying to combine everything in the blender though.
