Crush Oreo cookies in food processor or blender. Spread crushed cookies in bottom of lower pot. Cover with pudding mixture; add more cookies and another layer of pudding. End with Oreo (dirt) on top.

POEM TO BE READ BEFORE SERVING:

I know I look strange - but dig right in.

The flowers are fake but the dirt is cake.

I don't need water or tender loving care.

Just eat my dirt 'til the pot is bare.
