Halloween Dirt Cake

Ingredients

• 1 (36-cookie) package chocolate sandwich cookies, such as Oreos
• 4 tbsp butter, softened
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 (3.9 oz) boxes instant chocolate pudding mix
• 3 1/2 cups cold milk
• 1 (8 oz) tub whipped topping, thawed
• gummy worms and candy pumpkins, to decorate

Steps

1. Crush the cookies to fine crumbs in a food processor or a sealed bag with a rolling pin.
2. Beat the butter, cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
3. In another bowl whisk the pudding mix and milk 2 minutes; let it thicken 5 minutes. Fold in the cream cheese mixture and the whipped topping.
4. Spread a third of the crumbs in a 9x13-inch pan, top with half the pudding, repeat, and finish with the remaining crumbs.
5. Chill at least 3 hours. Decorate with gummy worms just before serving.

TipFor individual dirt cups, layer it in clear plastic cups instead of a pan.
