Aunt Saunny
1 Flower pot
1 Garden trowel
3 Gummy worms (or plastic)
1 Plastic flowers, bunch
16 oz Oreo cookies
1/2 c Butter, softened
8 oz Cream cheese, softened
1 c Confectioner's sugar
1 ts Vanilla
2 pk Inst chocolate-fudge pudding (4 oz)
3 c Milk
12 oz Whipped topping,1 tub thawed
Use a clean new plastic flower pot or take the precaution of lining a
clay pot with foil and wrap the stems of live flowers if you use them
in order to prevent any toxins from entering the dessert.
Crush the cookies until they resemble potting soil. Set aside. Cream
the butter or margarine, cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth
and fluffy. Set aside. Combine the pudding mix and milk until well
blended. Then fold in the whipped topping.
Gently fold the cream cheese and pudding mixtures together. To put
the "cake" together, layer one-third of the cookie crumbs followed by
1/2 of the pudding mixture, 1/3 of the crumbs, the rest of the
pudding mixture and topping with the balance of the crumbs.
Refrigerate 10-12 hours before serving. Remove from refrigerator,
decorate with flowers. Serve by digging out portions with the trowel.
Serves 10 to 12.
