***I've
moved my blog to Wordpress! If you're stopping by from Pinterest, I'd love for you to come and see me there! Thank you for visiting!***
When I was younger, my mom would make this pudding. She called it sand pudding. It was sooooo good. Every time she brought it somewhere it was finished.
Well, the other night I was looking for something to bring to church bible study group and my mom recommended this! Perfect! It is the prefect little dessert for your summer picnic and your kids will love it. You'll see.
You start by blending some Vanilla Wafers and just a couple of Oreos in a food processor. Like a whole bag of Vanillas to 3 Oreos. Unless you are looking for black sand, then add more Oreos. Blend them up real nice and this is what you should have:
SAND! Now you see where the name comes in. The you could just put in regular pudding in between sand layers, but that just wouldn't be as yummy. So we pimp out the pudding.
You have regular vanilla pudding and you add cool whip, cream cheese, powdered sugar, oh man, my sugar tooth is kickin' in just thinking about it. Once you have it all blended up, you start the layers.
And of course, it is only appropriate to do it in a bucket!
And Voila, that easy! You just layer it up, sand, pudding, sand, pudding
(I wonder where the name came from?) and stick a shovel in it for serving and you are good to go! Look how creative you are with such little effort!

| I think someone else found the pudding... |
Yep, I left to get something else ready only to come back and find the little man grabbin' a shovel. And of course like the good mother I am, I waited for him to grab the spoon so I could snap a picture before I took it away. Don't worry, he got some later! Here is the full recipe
1 pkg Vanilla Wafers
3 or 4 Oreos
8 oz Cream Cheese
1/4 C Butter
2/3 C powdered sugar
2 small pkgs French Vanilla pudding mix
2 3/4 C Milk
12 oz Cool Whip
Crush Oreos and Vanilla Wafers in a food processor. In a separate bowl, cream together softened 8 oz cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar. In another bowl, mix pudding with milk. Add to cream cheese mixture. Fold in cool whip. Layer into buckets with sand, pudding, sand etc.
Hope you all enjoy and try this at your next summer picnic! I am gonna link it up to as many linky parties as I can remember to. Which basically means the next two days at the most...
Don't forget to get those photos ready for Friday! Summer Photo Contest!
Have a great day!

I showed this to my husband and he loved it. I've got to make it for him! What a creative idea.
Super Yum! I've had something similar with only Oreo called "dirt cake" but I've never seen it done this way-so adorable! I love the buckets and little shovels-too cute!
This looks delish!
And your babe is too cute!
Yum!! And so great served in the bucket!!!
Brings back memories! I haven't had this since I was a kid!

So cute!! I have to pin this too.
I have to say that this looks yummy!
Love this dessert! One of my favorites!
OMG that sounds so AWESOME!!! Although I'm a little freaked out now b/c I feel myself attracted to the idea of eating sand...
genius idea! Definitely will share with my readers on upcoming beach party theme post!
hugs! Kim @ Party Frosting!
So have to try this, yum!!!
Yum!!! So have to try this, thanks!
Just found you via Pinterest and I had to tell you two things. 1) Holy crap this is amazing and 2) your little guy is GORGEOUS! Thanks for sharing!
I think I'm the only guy here but I couldn't figure out if the pudding needs to be instant pudding. Sorry. But it looks good and I might want to try it
It's vanilla flavored dirt (chocolate pudding and oreos)!
Almost exact to dirt cake only different is the vanilla waffers. I like the waffer idea better. Could also serve in those little clear cups people use for baby shower punch so people/kids can see the layers. I've served the dirt cake that way so the worms were visible to the kids. Are there shell shaped candies? That would be fun to put in it.
Very similar to dirt cake, only the van waffers is different. I like the waffer addition. Could also serve in those clear plastic cups used at baby showers so everyone can see the layers. I have served the dirt cake that way so kids could see the worms. If there is a candy shaped like shells that would be cool to put in it. Yum
Cool! What a neat idea! Thank you for sharing it.
Just checking... I can just mix the pudding in with the other stuff, don't have to refrigerate it to set it first?
Thank you so much. I was just looking for (ocean) lesson ideas for my kindergarten class. This is so cute!
This is so cute! I was looking for ideas for an ocean unit for my kindergarten class. Thank you!!!
Super cute! Like a summery version of dirt n' worms :)
But, oh dear, what to do with the rest of the Oreos in the package. I do hate leftover food... :-)
Maybe some shortbread cookies cut out as crabs or starfish to decorate the top, like how you put gummy worms in dirt cake.....cute!
This is great! Always looking for fun ideas for the kids!

I made this for our church small group on Sunday night this past weekend...it was a hit! The best comment was "is that really food?!?" when they saw it on the buffet table! :)
Thanks!

Going to the beach for a week. Will be making these for dessert for sure!!
I have a very similiar recipe that it appears someone else mentioned called dirt cake. You put gummy worms in it to decorate, it's made in a plastic plant pot, if you can find edible flowers those are also a part of it. It's very cute just like this one. I'm so saving this one and doing it at our next family gathering. My nieces and nephews will LOVE it & I bet the grown ups will LOVE it too! Thanks for sharing it!
Add some worms or "bugs" (gummy candies) and kids would love it even more!!!
Add some gummy worms or gummy bugs. Even better!!!
My son is having a birthday pool party, so I will try making this tomorrow. Thanks for sharing!
My son is having a birthday pool party, so I will be making this on Saturday. Thanks for sharing!
How many would you say one bucket feeds? I'm helping a friend with wedding shower ideas & she's looking for a ballpark number.
Grey thanks for great photos, a super fun idea, a dangerously addictive recipe, and good spelling! I'll read your blog just because you can spell "voila" if for no other reason (although there certainly is reason)! Thanks bundles, keep the fun coming!
AAACK! Not grey photos! GREAT photos (darn not-so-smart phone and itchy trigger finger). I guess that's my comeuppance for being a spelling snob. ;-)
Just mixed the Nilla wafers and Oreos and this might just be the tastiest sand ever. I'm serving it as a topping for icecream at my daughters birthday this weekend. Thanks for the idea! (sugarsnips.com)
I cannot wait to try this
Cannot wait to make and try this
Awesome idea, Perfect for my daughter pool party coming up!! And your little man is adorable!! I am bias because my kids are mixed too,lol;)
Making this for my son's beach birthday party! (Hoping it doesn't encourage the kids to eat the REAL sand! Lol)
I found you through a link on Pinterest. I made this tonight and it was a major hit!! Thank you!!
Anyone have a clue how many (small) servings this would be?!
Anyone have any clue how many (small) servings this would be?! I have a very large Under the Sea 1st birthday party coming up VERY soon and I'd love this to be one of the treats I serve.
Thx,
Jenn.
