I know you had Dirt Dessert at a family party or work pot luck, but when I tell you this is the best and easiest recipe you'll ever make, I'm not lying.  My Nana started making this probably 30 years ago and every time I make it people are drooling.

1 quart of Vanilla Ice Cream - softened 

1-2 packages of Oreos - depending on how many you want to use

2 packages of Instant Chocolate Pudding 

1 -to 1 1/2 Cups of Milk - depending on how thick you want it - I like it a little on thinner side

1 container of Cool Whip - softened 

1-2 tablespoons of Butter - you'll melt and mix with crushed Oreos to form crust for bottom. 

Whatever kind of gummy candy worm, butterfly, fish you like!  

9/13 Pan - or you could even put it in individual cups or even a pot!  

Crush packages of Oreos - if you're using one package, set aside some of the bottom crust + mix that with melted butter.  Then save the rest (without the butter) to sprinkle on top.

Mix together 2 packages of instant pudding mix with your milk until smooth - then add in the softened vanilla ice cream - mix together.

Pat Oreo mixture in bottom pan, then pour chocolate mixture over top, place in freezer for an hour or so to harden a bit.  Remove from freezer, cover with softened Cool Whip, sprinkle with remaining Oreo crumbs and top with your gummy candy of choice!
