Dirt Cake


E took this to school for her 9th birthday treat when she was in 3rd grade. A year and a half later, J did the same thing when he was in 3rd grade. Then G took it to school to share for his birthday treat in 2nd grade. It's definitely a popular treat with our family! We made it in individual cups for all those occasions.

1/2 c butter, softened
1 (8 oz) pkg cream cheese, softened
1/2 c powdered sugar
2 (3.5 oz) pkg instant vanilla pudding mix
3 1/2 c milk
1 (12 oz) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
32 oz chocolate sandwich cookies with creme filling
gummy worms

Chop cookies very fine in food processor. The white cream will disappear. Mix butter, cream cheese, and sugar in bowl. In a lg bowl mix milk, pudding and whipped topping together. Combine pudding mixture and cream mixture together. Layer in lg bowl, trifle dish, or new, clean flowerpot starting with cookies then cream mixture. Repeat layers til all of pudding mixture and cookie crumbs are gone, placing a few gummy worms in dirt layers as you go along. End with cookie crumbs on top. Scatter a couple of gummy worms on top layer of crumbs. Chill until ready to serve. Makes 10 servings.
