WORM DIRT CAKE

This popular "novelty" cake is a hit at children's parties, especially around Halloween. You'll receive many appreciative compliments from your guests such as "Ewww, that's gross!"

It really resembles a pudding more than it does a conventional cake. If you serve it as an everyday family dessert, rather than as a fun decorative element, it's possible that your family may not understand it!

1 to 1 1/4 lb. pkg. Oreo cookies
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
3 cups milk
1 (12 oz.) tub Cool Whip (can use chocolate)
2 (3 1/2 oz.) pkg. instant vanilla or chocolate pudding
1/2 tsp. vanilla
4 gummy worms and/or other critters

Crush Oreos. Put 1/3 of the crushed Oreos into a new, clean flower pot. Set aside.

Mix butter, cream cheese and sugar and vanilla together. Set aside.

Combine milk and pudding mix. Fold Cool Whip into the pudding.

Fold together pudding mixture and butter-cream cheese mixture.

Layer this mixture (about 1/3 of it) onto the crumbled cookies in the pot. Next, add another layer of the pudding mixture, then another layer of cookie crumbs, continuing until all ingredients are used.

As you're layering the ingredients, decoratively place several gummy worms and critters in the "soil" so they will be seen emerging. If you have a toy (clean) garden trowel, a plastic daisy, or some edible flowers, these can also be used creatively to embellish the presentation.

Chill in refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours before serving.

I made this with a toy backhoe and bulldozer on top. I filled the machines' buckets with dirt and placed toy workmen and signs to make construction work scene. I also used speckled jellie beans as boulders; some gourmet jellie bellies are just the right color. My 3 yr old loved it!

I doubled the recipe and made both the vanilla pudding mixure and also a chocolate pudding mixture which I alternated between crushed oreo layers. I put gummy worms on top and some candy bugs. It was so popular with the party I took it to the whole thing was gone in 5 minutes flat. People raved - it was wonderful!

My son's class is having a "pumpkin celebration" instead of a "halloween party".....um, yea, so anyway, I am making some really cute pumpkin cupcakes, but I'm thinking I will also make a batch of this in a 9x13 dish, pipe some green frosting to look like vines/stems and add some of the candy pumpkins to create a "pumpkin patch!"

I was asked to make the dirt cake for thanksgiving dessert, however I make cups instead and to make it a little more festive I am going to put the mixture into two separate bowls and add food coloring. Yellow to one and orange to the other. Hope it will add some fun to this yummy dessert!

Susan (North Carolina) says:

I have made this several times for my class that I teach- they love it. I make it a little more simple though- I just use chocolate pudding, fold in the cool whip and then layer with the oreos. I also use half plain oreos and half mint oreos- YUMMM!! Gives it that nice light minty flavor! Def. keep the creme on the cookies though.

Bailey (Wyoming) says:

I made this for my daughter's barnyard themed 3rd birthday. I put it in a 9x13 pan and then put cupcakes that I decorated to look like pigs on top of it so it looked like the pigs were playing in the mud. Everyone raved about it!!

I love dirt cake however, I also sometimes use peanut butter cookies (nutter butter cookies). Then my family calls it Sand.
