Welcome to my Recipe of the Week!

Recipe for the week of October 30, 2000

With Halloween quickly approaching, this is a perfect recipe for your Halloween party at home, work or school. If you're feeling creative, this recipe can be prepared in either a cat litter pan (new and unused, please!) and then served with a pooper scooper rather than a spatula. Or, it can be made in a large flower pot, decorated with small plastic flowers and then served with a small trowel. The choice is yours!!!

HALLOWEEN DIRT CAKE

Ingredients:


1 (20 oz) package chocolate sandwich cookies with creme filling
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 (3 oz) packages instant chocolate pudding mix
6 cups milk
1 (12 oz) container whipped topping
20 gummy worms

Directions:

Finely chop the chocolate cookies in a food processor or blender.

Combine the butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Mix on low speed until smooth. Add the chocolate pudding and milk. Blend until mixed through.

Fold the whipped topping into the pudding mixture.

In either a 9x13 ungreased pan, a litter pan or a flower pot, alternate layers of chopped cookies and pudding mixture. Start with a layer of about 1/3 of the cookies, followed by 1/2 of the pudding mixture, then 1/3 of the cookies, then 1/2 of the pudding mixture, then lastly, 1/3 of the cookies.

Carefully arrange the gummy worms in the top layer of the cookies. You might want to bury some of them in the "dirt" and leave some of them poking out of the dirt. You might even want to make some of them look like they are escaping from the pan.
