I made this dessert to bring to a Fourth of July cookout. The bowl was licked clean! I used a traditional "dirt" recipe but subbed the crushed Oreos for crushed graham crackers and vanilla wafers. I originally got this idea from the cooking class Zack and I used to teach with kindergarten through thrid grade students. To make it a little leaner I used Cool Whip Lite, light cream cheese, and skim milk when making the pudding. You could also substitute sugar free vanilla pudding mixture, but I feel that it tastes too "diety". This is a great creative dessert to bring when you are low on cash. I obtained all of the ingredients at Marc's (decorations excluded) for under $10. In retrospect some strawberries would have tasted awesome in there but I am unsure of what sea creature they would represent? Another idea is to serve the dessert in a new beach pail and scoop it with a shovel! Happy summer!
