Cookie Fruit Salad

I know...sounds disgusting but this is so delicious!! My aunt has been bringing this to family gatherings for years and it used to be served at the old "Penner Foods" grocery stores-anyone remember those?? Anyway, I recently had dental work and this qualified as some delicious "soft" food that I could actually eat. This salad (-or dessert as my husband calls it-) is so good and is perfect for big gatherings.

Ingredients:
1 package instant vanilla pudding mix
1 1/4 cup buttermilk
1 (16 oz) container cool whip, thawed
2 cans mandarin oranges, drained
1 can crushed pineapple, drained
1 pkg chocolate teddy grahams or crushed oreo crumbs

Directions:
Mix pudding mix, buttermilk, and cool whip together. Add drained fruit and fold in until combined. Mix in cookies or crumbs. If using cookies, let sit for a few hours to let cookies soften (best if made the night before) but salad made with crumbs can be served right away.
