Dirt
Cake
This
is a perfect recipe for a party!
If
you're feeling creative, this recipe can be prepared
in a large flower pot, decorated with small plastic
flowers and then served with a small trowel.
20
oz chocolate sandwich cookies with creme filling
1/4 C butter -- softened
8 oz cream cheese -- softened
1 C powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 packages instant chocolate pudding mix -- (3 oz)
6 C milk
12 oz whipped topping
20 gummy worms
Finely
chop the chocolate cookies in a food processor or
blender.
Combine
the butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla.
Mix on low speed until smooth. Add the chocolate pudding
and milk. Blend until mixed through.
Fold
the whipped topping into the pudding mixture.
In
either a 9x13 ungreased pan, a plastic flower pot,
alternate layers of chopped cookies and pudding mixture.
Start with a layer of about 1/3 of the cookies, followed
by 1/2 of the pudding mixture, then 1/3 of the cookies,
then 1/2 of the pudding mixture, then lastly, 1/3
of the cookies.
Carefully
arrange the gummy worms in the top layer of the cookies.
You might want to bury some of them in the "dirt"
and leave some of them poking out of the dirt. You
might even want to make some of them look like they
are escaping from the pan.
