here is one that even I couldn't mess up, and believe me if it can be messed up- I'm the one to do it!!!
It'c called Flower Pot Dessert because you are supposed to put it in one of those plastic pot in the garseding center. I put mine in a large glass bowl. I I like seeing the layers.

1 bag of chocolate cookies (I use oreos)
2 boxes instant french vanilla pudding (small)
8 oz cream cheese
1 stick butter or margarine
1 20oz container coolwhip (or close to)
3 cups milk

crush oreos,cream butter, sugar, and cream cheese, in another bowl whisk pudding and milk together. add to sugar and cheese. fold in cool whip and layer in bowl begining and ending with cookies. refridgerate at least 3 hours ( I let mine stay overnight- minus a few tastes!!)
This was served at my wedding shower at work, I thought it was the centerpeice, because the gal that made it put it in a flower pot ant put one of those plastic flowers in it. The cookies make it loof like(potting soil)
She even pot a few gummi worms down in the bottom layer.
You can double this recipe or half it- this recipe makes enough for about 12-15 people (3/4 cup servings) but if your family is like mine this lasts two days!!

Enjoy!!
