Eating Dirt

This is the dessert we made for the kids yesterday. The best part for the adults was tricking the kids into thinking the flower pot contained actual dirt (that wasn't hard) and then watching their faces, especially our five-year-old friend, when each of us took a bite from the pot. Utter shock! They eventually caught on and devoured their helpings.
The irony here is that there are probably more nutrients in a pot of soil then there are in this particular pot.

Here is the recipe for this fun Spring-time dessert:
Dirt Dessert
(I halved this recipe and it made a lot!)

1 bag gummy worms
2 bags Oreo cookies
3 small boxes instant vanilla pudding
2 8oz pkgs cream cheese
1/2 c. butter
1 16oz. tub of Cool Whip
1 c. powdered sugar

optional, but necessary:
large flower pot
garden trowel
silk flowers

Make pudding as directed but use 4 cups of milk instead of 6. Combine cream cheese, butter, Cool Whip, powdered sugar and pudding. Make crumbs of the Oreos in food processor. Layer the crumbs and pudding mixture in pot, ending with Oreo crumbs on top. Refrigerate, or freeze for a frozen dessert. Before serving, place gummy worms, flowers and towel on top.
