Chocolate Dirt Dessert

Dirt dessert is a dessert that one of my friends' mom would always make when I was little. I always remember how delicious and rich tasting this dessert was. My friends' mom would make the dessert with vanilla pudding, however I make mine with either chocolate or vanilla depending on what my taste buds are craving! This time that I made Dirt Dessert I made it with chocolate pudding.

Ingredients:

1 package (8oz.) cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup confectioners' sugar
4 cups cold milk (I used Vitamin D)
2 packages (3.4oz. each, small boxes) instant vanilla or chocolate pudding mix
1 carton (12oz.) frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 package (15-1/2oz.) Oreo cookies
1 package of gummy worms (optional)

(what you will need)

 

Instructions:

1. In a gallon size bag, crush Oreos with a rolling pin.
