Steps:
- 1. Crush Oreos. Put 1/3 of the crushed Oreos into a new, clean flower pot. Set aside.
- 2. Mix butter, cream cheese and sugar and vanilla together. Set aside.
- 3. Combine milk and pudding mix. Fold Cool Whip into the pudding.
- 4. Fold together pudding mixture and butter-cream cheese mixture.
- 5. Layer this mixture (about 1/3 of it) onto the crumbled cookies in the pot. Next, add another layer of the pudding mixture, then another layer of cookie crumbs, continuing until all ingredients are used.
- 6. As you're layering the ingredients, decoratively place several gummy worms and critters in the "soil" so they will be seen emerging. If you have a toy (clean) garden trowel, a plastic daisy, or some edible flowers, these can also be used creatively to embellish the presentation.
- 7. Chill in refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours before serving.
