1 (8 inch) flower pot
1 sm. toy shovel
Clean silk flowers
1 stick butter
1 (3 oz.) cream cheese
1 c. powdered sugar
3 1/2 c. milk
2 sm. boxes French vanilla instant pudding
12 oz. whipping cream (such as Cool Whip)
20 oz. bag Oreo cookies

Soften 1 stick butter and 3 oz. cream cheese. Add 1 cup powdered sugar. Set this bowl aside.

Mix 3 1/2 cups milk with 2 small boxes French vanilla until blended. Add 12 oz. Cool Whip. Mix together the pudding mixture with the butter and powdered sugar mixture.

Break into pieces the Oreo cookies and put into blender (cream centers and all). Blend until crumbs are fine, like dirt. Blend a few at a time.

If your flower pot has watering holes in the bottom; plug them some way so the mixture will not run into the bottom. (I use a doubled circle of wax paper in bottom of pot.)

Layer the Oreo crumbs with the pudding mixture to fill the pot; be sure and finish off with layer of crumbs so that it looks like a pot of dirt. Place your silk flowers in this to resemble growing flowers.

It is best to make this recipe the night before you plan to use it or it may even be frozen. Also, it is best not to "grow" the flowers until you are ready to serve. Serve with shovel.
