Dirt Cake - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/4 lb. Oreo cookies, crushed
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese
1/2 stick margarine
1 c. sugar
2 pkg. vanilla instant pudding
1 (12 oz.) pkg. Cool Whip

Preparation

Mix cream cheese, margarine and sugar together and set aside. Prepare pudding as directed on package and chill.
Mix Cool Whip, pudding mixture and cream cheese mixture together. Layer in a 2-quart deep bowl beginning and ending with cookie crumbs.
A cute idea is to use a plastic hanging basket flowerpot.
Cover the holes in the bottom of the pot with the top of the Cool Whip container to avoid leaking and use a trowel to dip.
Can be put in freezer about 2 to 3 hours before serving so it will not be too soft.
