Dirt Cake!

It’s a summer camp classic but this is also a fun dessert for Halloween.

Ingredients:

1 chocolate cake (Betty Crocker box Bundt works well)
4 boxes instant chocolate pudding (8 cups milk)
1 box Oreo or off brand chocolate sandwich cookies
1 box vanilla cream sandwich cookies
1 box Whoppers (malted milk balls)
2 bags gummy worms
1-2 bags of small chocolate marshmallows

Fudge sauce:
1 oz bar Bakers chocolate
3 tablespoons butter
Handful marshmallows

Container:
New 10 quart bucket



Directions:

Bake chocolate cake.

Prepare chocolate pudding. Let set and chill in the fridge. (This is mud)

Crush/ smash up Oreo & vanilla sandwich cookies by putting cookies in a large freezer bag and using a kitchen mallet. (This is like sand.)

After cake bakes and rests, cut into slices.

Melt fudge sauce ingredients in the microwave. (Also like mud)

Combine ingredients in the bucket by layering them. Drizzle fudge sauce in the middle. The worms are of course because it’s pretend dirt. The marshmallows and malted milk balls are the rocks.

Let the dirt cake chill in the fridge. Serve with a clean garden spade or plastic beach toy or large kitchen spoon that resembles a trowel.

Fake flowers optional

Enjoy.
