LT's post in the Halloween thread reminded me if this recipe which is always a hit, especially in the summer, even with adults. I've made both varieties several times, but not in ages.

Dirt Pudding or Sand Pudding

(Note: for Sand Pudding, use Vienna Fingers cookies, vanilla pudding and gummy fish. Present in a new plastic sand pail with plastic shovel.)

New garden trowel and new plastic flower pot
Gummy worms
Plastic flowers or edible flowers from a specialty store.
1 16 oz bag Oreo cookies
1/2 cup butter softened
1 8 oz package cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 4-serving size boxes INSTANT chocolate-fudge flavor pudding
3 cups milk
1 12-oz container non-dairy frozen whipped topping, thawed


Directions:

Crush the Oreo cookies until they resemble potting soil. Set aside.

Cream the butter, cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth and fluffy.

Combine the pudding mix and milk until well blended, then fold in the whipped topping. Gently fold the cream cheese and pudding mixture together.

To assemble: layer 1/3 of the cookie crumbs followed by 1/2 of the pudding mixture, the 1/3 of the crumbs and then the rest of the pudding. Top with the remaining crumbs. Refrigerate 10-12 hours.

About 1/2 hours before serving, remove from refrigerator and decorate with flowers and worms. Serve by digging out the portions with the trowel!
