DIRT CAKE 
1 (16 oz.) pkg. Oreo cookies
1 stick of butter (butter), softened
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese
1 1/2 c. milk
1 c. powdered sugar
1 (12 oz.) container Cool Whip
2 (3 1/2 oz) boxes instant chocolate pudding
1 c. coarsely chopped nuts (optional)
1 c. chocolate chips (optional), add with cookie crumbs

In first bowl cream together butter, cream cheese and sugar. In second bowl combine pudding and milk. Blend in Cool Whip and mix gently. Combine both mixes. Reserve filling from centers of 4 or 5 Oreo cookies. Place in small dish and refrigerate.

Crumble all remaining cookies into fairly fine crumbs using food processor, or placing in plastic bag and crushing. Line a flower pot with foil. Layer cookie crumbs and pudding mixture repeatedly, making sure to end with cookie crumbs on top. Refrigerate.

Before serving, crumble reserved white Oreo filling on top to resemble fertilizer. Before serving, put a nice bouquet of silk flowers in center of pot. Add a bow if desired. Serve with a large spoon and a smile.

You may use a plastic flower pot that does not have to be lined. Cut out a cardboard circle and cover with foil to cover bottom of pot drainage hole.
