Edible Decor: The Kardashian Cookie Jar

Oh yeah, I am going to be truthful. I am drawn to the reality show, The Kardashians. However, I did miss the last season, yet it's not so much their drama (snooze) that captures me.  The show is more about their home decor and clothing.

All you need is a glass canister, and at least two box-bags of stuffed cookies like Oreo's depending on the size of canister. I have also used fruit bars like Fig Newtons. The Vienna Fingers, a vanilla cookies filled with a cream-frosting center from Keebler or Nabisco will also work. A bit more patience is needed with the Vienna Fingers due to their length.

Now onto the next step, and this is where you stack on top of the space between the bottom layer of cookies. Did I explain that right? If not, take a peek at the pictures and you'll get the "picture."
