Dirt Cake!

My son loves dirt cake, so he requests it for his birthday cake every year. There are many themes to the dirt cake; you can put it in a pail with gummy worms or in flower pots with plastic flowers. You can come up with many creative ideas! Here is how we make his "birthday" dirt cake.

Ingredients:
1/2 stick margarine or butter
1 8oz. cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
31/2 cups milk
2 pkg (3.5 oz) vanilla instant pudding
12 oz. whipped topping
20 oz pkg Oreo cookies, crushed

Step 1

Cream butter, cream cheese, and powdered sugar.

Step 2

In another bowl, mix the milk, instant vanilla pudding, and whipped topping.

Step 3

Combine the mixtures. (I use a blender for this, on low)

Step 4

The fun part! Put the cookies in a bag and make sure it is sealed : ) You may even want to double-bag. Then crush the cookies; we use a rolling pin.

Step 5

You are ready to assemble! Put 1/3 of the crushed cookies in the container. Add 1/2 the filling. Top with 1/3 of the crushed cookies. Add the rest of the filling. and top with the rest of the cookies. Put in the gummy worms. Refrigerate.

Eat and enjoy!
