Eat Dirt

This recipe has been floating around from backyard BBQ to BBQ for many years.  It is one of my favorites because I serve it in a children’s plastic pail and scoop it with the attached shovel.  We always feel like we are really eating dirt.  Just like when we were 5.  I present it today for your convenience in case you misplaced it or the recipe card got wet.

Ingredients:

1 stick butter, softened
1 c. powdered sugar
1 8-oz. package cream cheese, softened
1 package Oreo cookies, crushed
2 small boxes vanilla instant pudding
1 12-oz. container Cool Whip
3 c. milk

Mix butter, powdered sugar and cream cheese well.  Add crushed Oreo cookies.  Set aside.  Combine pudding, Cool Whip, and milk.  Grab your pail (yes, a plastic bucket you got at Target) and put in a layer of cookie mixture.  Next add a layer of pudding mixture.  Alternate between the two until you reach the top.  End with cookie mixture because it is dark like dirt.  Remember, we are eating dirt!  Chill until ready to serve.  Put shovel in mixture before serving.  Feeds 10 if they overate at the BBQ.
