A recipe for Mud - a dessert????

I just made dirt... did you mean that....

2 packages of instant chocolate pudding and 1 8oz. whipped cream (cool whip) layered with crushed chocolate wafers or oreos in a flower pot and served with a shovel???

It's actually really good.

Here's another version of the dirt cake...

Ingredients
1 16 oz. Package of Oreo Cookies
½ cup Butter or Margarine (softened)
1 8 oz. Package of Cream Cheese (softened)
1 cup of Confectioner’s (Powdered) Sugar
1 teaspoon of Vanilla
2 packages of Vanilla Instant Pudding
3 cups of Milk
1 12 oz. tub Cool Whip Topping (thawed)

Directions:
Finely crush the Oreo cookies until the mixture resembles dirt and then set it aside. Cream the butter/margarine, cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla until they are smooth and fluffy. Set aside. Combine the pudding mix and milk until well-blended and then fold in the Cool Whip. Gently fold the cream cheese and pudding mixtures together. Fold in ½ of the crushed Oreo cookies leaving ½ for the top. Refrigerate for 10 - 12 hours before serving. Serves 10 to 12.

Decorations:
For a bit of whimsy, serve your dessert in a clean plastic or terra cotta flowerpot. (If you use a terra cotta pot, line the pot with foil or place a plastic bowl inside to hold the mixture.)
Stick an artificial flower in the middle of the pot and for extra fun, stick some “gummy” worms (candy) halfway into the mixture to make it appear as if worms were crawling out of the dirt.

Here is a very simple recipie for 'Death by Chocolate' that my sister makes. It is awesome.
*******************************
Chocolate, oor devils food cake mix whichever you like.
1 package of chocolate instant pudding mix
1/2 cup of kahlua, (if you don't have kahlua you can use strong brewed black
coffee)
carton of cool whip
KitKat chopped fine.

1. Bake the cake and put aside to cool completely. Once cooled just
tear cake into pieces.
2. Make the instant pudding
3. Chop the wafer bars

In a bowl layer cake, add some kahula, add pudding, cool whip and wafer
bars, all in layers.

Continue the above step until all your ingredients are finished. It's like
making a lasagna. Once it's all done, put in fridge to chill.

ENJOY

Just for variety, you can mix chocolate and vanilla cake, pudding etc. You
can also add some walnuts, it gives it a nice crunchy flavor

Thanks so much.
I went to a family BBQ and brought both Sand and Dirt as a dessert - they loved it!

When recently doing a search for the 'Dirt' recipe, I read somewhere not to use regular flowerpots because many have not been treated to be used with food consumption .. just a heads-up.
