About

Ah, Dirt Cake. One of the classic staples of childhood backyard parties! A thick, luscious, creamy, tangy, rich pudding topped with chocolate crumbled cookies, and with a crumbly cookie crust holding everything up, is just as tasty and whimsical now as it was then. There's no better way to reconnect with your inner child than with a scoop of Dirt Cake. Well, besides topping it with gummy worms!
