Preheat the oven and prepare the brownie mix according to package instructions.
Bake as directed and let cool completely.

2. Prepare the Green Pudding

In a medium bowl, whisk together vanilla pudding mix and cold milk.
Stir in green food coloring until you reach the desired shade of green.

In a trifle dish, glass bowl, or individual cups, layer as follows:
- Brownie pieces as the base.

- Cool Whip for a fluffy contrast.
- Crushed mint Oreos for crunch.
Repeat layers until the dish is filled, ending with Cool Whip and Oreo crumbs on top.

Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
