DIRT CAKE 
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 stick butter, softened
1 c. powdered sugar
2 (3 oz.) boxes vanilla instant pudding
1 lg. container Cool Whip
20 oz. pkg. Oreo cookies
3 1/2 c. milk
8" flower pot (preferably plastic)
Trowel for spoon
Gummy worms

1ST BOWL: Combine cream cheese, butter and powdered sugar with mixer.

2ND BOWL; Combine Cool Whip, dry pudding and milk. Mix ingredients in first bowl with ingredients in second bowl.

Divide cookies into 3 piles. Crush 1/3 at a time in blender or food processor.

Line bottom of flower pot with Saran Wrap to cover hole. (I use a small plate, inverted.) Layer 1/3 cookies, 1/2 pudding mixture; repeat. Top with remaining 1/3 cookies.

Garnish with gummy worms. Chill. Before serving I add a bouquet of artificial flowers.

VARIATION SAND CAKE: Replace Oreo cookies with vanilla wafers. Use a child's sand pail instead of flower pot and a small shovel for a spoon. Garnish each serving with a cocktail umbrella.
