1/4 cup butter (softened)
1 cup powdered sugar

Add cream cheese, butter and powdered sugar together and put aside.
Mix pudding mix with milk, then blend in with cream cheese mixture.
Fold in whipped topping.
Layer "dirt", worms and creamy mixture over and over making sure top layer of cake is dirt. (reserve a few worms to stick out of the top of the cake)
The mixture must stay in the fridge for 6 hours before serving.
When I've made this in the past I serve it in a large ceramic cauldron. I've also seen it served in a large clay pot that has been lined with plastic wrap.
