Mom's Famous Dirt Cake

One of my favorite desserts ever!! And super easy :)

-1 package oreo cookies
-12 oz. cool whip (can use fat-free)
-8 oz. cream cheese, softened
-1 c. powdered sugar
-1 stick margarine, softened
-2 c. milk
-3 oz. box instant vanilla (or french vanilla) pudding
-1 tsp. vanilla

Crush the oreos and put about 3/4 of them in bottom of 11x17 dish. Use a mixer to blend cream cheese. Add cool whip, powdered sugar, and margarine. In another bowl, mix milk, pudding, and vanilla until it has a thick, pudding consistency. Combine 2 bowls together and pour over crushed oreo layer. Sprinkle remaining oreos and refrigerate. (Better if refrigerated overnight.)

Also fun if you throw in some gummy worms to give it a more "authentic dirt" feel.

Here's a pic I found online- this would be cute for a kid's birthday party!
