3½ cups milk
2 small packages vanilla pudding mix
12 oz Cool Whip

Crush Oreo cookies in a food processor or blender. Mix together margarine, cream cheese, and powdered sugar; set aside. In another bowl, mix milk and pudding mix and fold in Cool Whip. Combine the margarine, cream cheese and powdered sugar mixture to pudding mixture and mix well. Layer in container starting with a layer of the crushed cookies, then pudding, cookies, pudding, ending with cookies on top. Refrigerate overnight. Add silk or plastic flowers or gummy worms, toy farm stuff, dump trucks, etc to make it fun. Or, you can use clay or plastic flower pots with 8” diameter at top (Cover drainage hole with foil or plastic lid and line the sides of clay pot with plastic wrap or something suitable). In summertime, it’s fun to serve this in a child’s plastic sand bucket and use sand shovel for serving. Enjoy!
