Ok several years ago I made this wonderful and creative dessert that you put in a terra cotta planter. The finished result Looks like a plant (with a silk flower added)...but the inside is puddling concoction. I have looked and looked and cannot find the receipe. I have invited several mothers over for a dinner that my husband will make. I though of having this as part of the dessert. I know there is someone out there that can help me. PLEASE HELP ME.

Dirt Cake Recipe
Ingredients
1-1/2 to 2 pounds chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos®)
1/4 pound (1 stick) margarine
4 packages instant chocolate pudding (made according to directions)
12 ounces non-dairy whipped topping (like Cool Whip®)
Candy gummy worms

Instructions
Clean a new plastic flower pot (a rectangular window box is perfect) and a gardening shovel or trowel. Crush the cookies in a food processor or place them in a ziplock bag and use a rolling pin. The crumbs will resemble potting soil. Mix crumbs with melted margarine and make a 2-inch crust on the bottom of the flower pot. Combine the pudding and whipped topping, then spread on the crust. Put gummy worms on the pudding and spread the remaining crumbs on top. You can arrange some of the gummy worms so that their heads poke out of the "soil". Refrigerate overnight. Wrap the stems of some artificial flowers with foil and arrange in the pot, then serve the cake using the trowel.

Note:
This recipe can be made non-fat by using skim milk and non-fat cookies. You can omit the margarine, which will make the crust crumbly, like the "top soil".

I don't have the recipe anymore but I used to make this. It's two boxes of vanilla or banana (your pref) pudding mix (not instant) prepared and then stirred in with a tub of whipped cream.

Put the pudding in the planter, then put a half bag of crushed oreo cookies on the top to look like dirt. Insert the flower (might want to wrap the stems with foil) and decorate with gummy worms! :)

Doubles easily.
