Heavenly Dirt

Elizabeth Jones, The Gardening Gourmet, NC

Flower pot or bucket

2 (8-oz.) packages cream cheese

2 cups powdered sugar

2 boxes instant Jello (Large) vanilla pudding

3 cups milk

2 teaspoons vanilla

2 medium containers Cool Whip

1 package Oreos (Large)

Mix cream cheese with powdered sugar and set aside.

Prepare instant pudding with the milk; stir until thickened. Add vanilla and Cool Whip. Fold into cream cheese mixture.

Meanwhile, in a food processor or blender, crush Oreos until mixture has a texture like dirt. Line pot with foil. Put in 1-inch cookie crumbs, then 1-inch pudding mixture. Alternate and end with crumbs for top layer.

Put an artificial flower in the middle of pot and have gummy worms hanging out.

Refrigerate overnight.
