This was a very simple recipe and it can be tailored to any holiday or occasion. I made mine as a Graveyard Cake for a Halloween Luncheon at work. The suggested use of a blender to crush the cookies didn't work to well for me, and I have a nicer model. Next time I would probably go with crushing them in a bag or food processor. Everyone thought it was cute and tasted great.

I made this last Halloween to bring to work. I used Milano cookies as tombstones. The pudding mixture was a bit lumpy but smoothed itself out by the time it was ready to eat. Everyone loved it and a few wanted the recipe.

This is a wonderful dessert! My mother used to make a recipe like this for birthdays when I was a kid. I didn't use the butter or cream cheese, it makes it really rich. I also subsituted the whipped topping with 8oz of heavy whipping cream, whipped. There is more than plenty of sugar with the cookies and the chocolate pudding and I think you'll find it is just right with these alterations. However when you take the rich part out you may want to eat more. Everyone should try this dirt cake it is soo good!

We rather enjoyed this recipe, although we made the mistake of doubling it because it sounded like the original recipe wouldn't make that much. We were wrong. We ended up with a HUGE bowl that took us nearly a week to eat. Not that I'm complaining. It's very tasty, just pay attention to the quantities. If you don't happen to have a handful of teenager always hanging around like I do, you might end up with more than you can eat.

I think dirt cake is supposed to have ice cream as the filling not pudding...the recipe according to this website did not turn out very well at all...too sweet and too much vanilla. It would be much better with an ice cream filling or if you freeze this recipe. I was really dissappointed.

My sister shared this recipe years ago and I've been making it ever since. We both prefer French Vanilla Pudding. To make it go further we make it with 3 boxes of pudding, 5 C milk and a 12 oz. tub of Cool Whip.

My family loves this cake, and wanted to carry it in their lunch box to work/school, but the crumbs got soggy and it wasn't as good. Now when I make it, I don't mix the cookie crumb and cream mixture together. I store them in separatle containers in the fridge and pack them separatly in their lunch boxes. They can them mix the two when they are ready to eat, no more soggy cookie!

When I make this, I have to make sure NO ONE is going to be coming over... This is an "unsharable" cake when it comes to the husband. He'll guard this cake like no one's business to make sure no one but him gets to enjoy it! :)

This is wonderful recipe for any occasion. This Thanksgiving will be my second year making this dessert for my family and they can't wait. I have added and additional 1/2 cup confectioners sugar to the filling which makes it a lil more rich, but grown-ups and children alike will love this treat any time of year.

My kids didn't care for the crust - the combination of butter and oreos is a bit unpleasant. I won't be making this again.

This was fantastic. I used chocolate pudding out of preference. It seems like this dessert is always a favorite at bar b que's even though it is sooo simple!

I love to make this for Halloween in a pumpkin bucket! This looks great in any see-through container. I distribute gummy worms throughout the layers and add extras sticking out the top! I always request this as my birthday cake too!

I made this for a church retreat. Everyone loved it and I was even asked for the recipe and told it was the best dirt cake she'd ever tasted. Definitely a keeper.

This stuff is AWESOME. I prefer to 'frost' the top with the Cool Whip, instead of mixing it in, but I'm sure it's great either way. Also, the recipe doesn't specify to soften the cream cheese, but if you do it mixes in much easier.
