SOHS Marching Dragons

This evening the high school marching band put on a performance for family and friends.

There was also a potluck dinner. We were asked to bring a casserole or a dessert. I brought a bucket of dirt.

Dragon Dirt

1 clean child's toy bucket with shovel
2 (6 serving size) instant chocolate pudding
6 cups milk
1 (16 oz.) Cool Whip, thawed
1 package Oreo Cookies
Gummy worms, if desired

Put the cookies into a large zipper-seal plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin.

Make pudding according to directions on package. (Combine pudding mix with milk and beat with a whisk for two minutes or until it begins to thicken.) Fold in thawed Cool Whip until well blended.

Alternate layers of pudding mixture and cookie crumbs in the bucket, finishing with a layer of cookie crumbs. Top with a few gummy worms. Put the shovel in the "dirt" to use as a serving spoon.
