Flowerpot Dirt Cake

This is so good. Don't mistake it for your average pudding with cookie crumbs on top. You'll want to make extra and hide some just for yourself.
1 package chocolate sandwich cookies
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
4 T butter or margarine softened
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 pkg (3.4 oz each) instant vanilla pudding mix
3 1/2 c cold milk1 carton (12 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 new flowerpot (8x10 inches)
silk flowers
candy gummy worms

In a food processor or blender, crush cookies until fine. Set aside. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, butter and sugar until smooth. In another bowl, mix pudding and milk until well blended. Fold into cream cheese mixture. Fold in whipped topping. Line flowerpot with foil. Alternate layers of crumbs and pudding ending with crumbs. Chill several hours or overnight. Decorate with silk flowers and gummy worms.

Serves 12.

I'll blog about this when I get a chance but I used your recipe but instead of chocolate cookies, I used Vanilla wafers and put it in a sandbucket. Dallin gave it to his preschool teacher as a thank you. I thought it turned out cute and fun.
