1 garden trowel or plastic shovel
1 stick butter
8 oz. cream cheese
1 (12 oz.) Cool Whip
2 sm. instant vanilla puddings
3 1/2 c. milk
1 lg. pkg. Oreo cookies, crumbled
2 pkg. gummy worms

Or gummy spiders, fish, candy rocks, chocolate covered coffee beans, chocolate covered raisins, etc.

Cream butter and cream cheese in large bowl. Add dry pudding mix. Add milk slowly on low until well mixed. Stir in Cool Whip until mixed completely.

Layer alternating crushed cookies and pudding mixture placing gummy worms artistically throughout the cake. Refrigerate cake; pudding will stiffen, however, when serving, mixture is very soft and will not hold pre-cut portions. Serve using the garden trowel or shovel!! (Very tasty - similar to cookies and cream ice cream!) Enjoy. (Great for children's birthday parties!)

Use a large clear glass mixing bowl, not a baking dish. The glass bowl will allow your guests to visually see the "creatures" in the dirt!! Viewing from side should resemble an ant farm design!
