Dirt Cake

Dirt Cake

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
2 (3.5 ounce) packages instant chocolate pudding mix
3 1/2 cups milk
1 (12 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
32 oz. pkg. Oreos

Chop cookies very fine in food processor. Mix butter, cream cheese, and sugar in bowl. In a large bowl mix milk, pudding and whipped topping together. Combine pudding mixture and cream mixture together. Layer in large bowl or trifle dish, starting with cookies then cream mixture. Repeat layers. Chill until ready to serve. Makes 10 servings.

Notes: Use butter for this dessert, I tried using margarine once, and it tasted yucky. If you want to cut some of the calories and fat out, just use light cream cheese, light whipped topping, and skim milk. If you want to have a little fun with this dessert, buy an inexpensive plastic flowerpot to serve it in (wash it well). Finish it off with a plastic flower, some gummy worms, and serve with an unused trowel.
