dirt cake

Crushed cookie treat

Dirt cake is a layered American dessert made to resemble a pot of soil.

Crushed chocolate sandwich cookies form the "dirt," layered with chocolate pudding or mousse, often served in a flower pot with gummy worms and an artificial flower for decoration.

It's a novelty dessert popular at children's parties: Mom made dirt cake for the birthday party.
