Serves 12
- 1 pkg. (18 oz) Oreo cookies
- 1 pkg. (8 oz) cream cheese
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1 cup confectioners sugar
- 3 cups milk
- 2 pkg. (3 1/2 oz. each) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 carton (12 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed
- gummy worms
- 2 clean, new flower pots, about 6 ” in diameter
Optional:
- silk flowers
- aluminum foil
- clean new gardening tools
Crush cookies until they resemble potting soil. Divide half of the crumble between the flower pots. Set pots and remaining crumbs aside. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter, sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy. In another mixing bowl, whisk milk and pudding mix for 2 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft-set. Fold in whipped topping. Gently fold into cream cheese mixture until blended. Add filling to pots, top with reserved crumbs. Cover and refrigerate until chilled. If desired, wrap silk flower stems in foil, add to flower pots. Decorate with gummy worms and display with gardening tools, if desired.
