Ingredients:

• 1 package (14.3 oz) Oreo cookies
• 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened

• 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
• 2 1/2 cups cold milk
• 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
• Gummy worms (optional, for decoration)

Instructions:

1. Crush the Oreos:
   • Place the Oreo cookies into a large plastic bag and use a rolling pin to crush them into small chunks. Alternatively, you can pulse them in a food processor until finely crushed, leaving some larger pieces for texture.
   • Set aside about 1 cup of the crushed Oreos for the top layer and the decoration.
2. Prepare the Cream Cheese Layer:
   • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.
   • Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue to beat until fully combined.
3. Make the Pudding Mixture:
   • In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk. Stir for about 2 minutes until the pudding thickens.
   • Add the pudding mixture to the cream cheese and butter mixture. Stir until everything is well combined.
4. Add the Whipped Topping:
   • Gently fold the whipped topping into the pudding mixture. Mix until smooth and creamy.
5. Layer the Cake:
   • In a 9×13-inch baking dish, spread half of the pudding mixture as the first layer.
   • Add a layer of the crushed Oreos over the pudding mixture (about half of the crushed Oreos).
   • Repeat the process with the remaining pudding mixture and crushed Oreos, creating another layer.
6. Top and Decorate:
   • Sprinkle the reserved 1 cup of crushed Oreos on top to create the “dirt” layer.
   • For an added fun touch, place gummy worms on top, sticking them into the “dirt” to resemble worms.
7. Chill:
   • Refrigerate the Oreo Dirt Cake for at least 3 hours or overnight to allow the layers to set and the flavors to meld.
