| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, margarine, and whipped topping. Mix until smooth and well incorporated. Set aside. |
| 2 | In another bowl, prepare the instant vanilla pudding according to the package instructions, using milk and vanilla extract. Stir until the pudding mixture thickens. |
| 3 | Gradually add the pudding mixture to the cream cheese mixture, stirring gently until fully combined. This will create a smooth and creamy filling for your dirt cake. Set aside. |
| 4 | Using a food processor, crush the chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs. This can also be done by placing the cookies in a sealed plastic bag and crushing them with a rolling pin. |
| 5 | In a 9×13 inch dish, begin layering the dirt cake. Start with a layer of chocolate cookie crumbs at the bottom of the dish. |
| 6 | Next, add a layer of the creamy filling mixture on top of the cookie crumbs, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Repeat the layers, alternating between cookie crumbs and filling, until all the ingredients are used, ending with a layer of cookie crumbs on top. |
| 7 | Cover the dish with plastic wrap or a lid, and refrigerate the dirt cake overnight to allow the flavors to meld together and the filling to set properly. This chilling time will enhance the taste and texture of the dessert. |
| 8 | Before serving, garnish the dirt cake with additional cookie crumbs or gummy worms for a fun and festive touch. Enjoy this whimsical dessert with family and friends, and watch as smiles light up the room! |
Note: Using a food processor to crush the cookies will yield the best results, ensuring that they are finely ground into crumbs for the perfect texture in your dirt cake.
