To prepare the crust, crush 1 package of Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. You can do this in a food processor or by placing them in a Ziploc bag and crushing with a rolling pin. In a medium bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with 1/4 cup of melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened. Press this mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking pan to form the crust.
