Dirt Cake

Dirt Cake
Dirt Cake is fun to serve at family gatherings, or to give as a gift. I've also taken it to church dinners. It not only tastes good but is unique.

Ingredients

  • 1 package (15-1/2 ounces) Oreo cookies

  • 1 carton (12 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed

  • crumbs between the flower pots. Set pots and remaining crumbs aside.
