Ingredients
Making edible dirt is a surprisingly easy process. All you need is a few simple ingredients to get started. Here is what you'll need:
- 1/2 cup of crushed oreo cookies
- 1/2 cup of ground graham crackers
- 1/4 cup of melted chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup of crushed nuts (optional)
Instructions
Making the edible dirt for your cakes is an easy process. Start off by crushing the Oreos and the graham crackers. You can either use a food processor or put them in a Ziploc bag and use a rolling pin to crush them into a fine powder. The finer you can make the powder, the better the dirt will look on the cake.
Next, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave or in a double boiler. Once the chips are melted, add them to the Oreo and graham cracker mixture. Stir the mixture together until everything is combined. If you want to add some crunch to the dirt, you can add in some crushed nuts. Make sure to stir them in well.
Once the dirt mixture is done, you can spread it on the cake. You can either spread it on the sides of the cake or around the top. You can even use it to make little piles on the top of the cake. You can also use it to fill in the gaps of any decorations you may have on the cake.
