I am super lucky to have some incredibly talented friends. Friends whose projects and recipes can be seen all over Pinterest and inspire countless people to recreate them. And I am one of those people.
Long before I knew Melissa at the Happier Homemaker, way before she became my real life BFF, I had pinned her Best Ever Dirt Cake recipe. It looked so scrumptious that I knew I had to try it. Fast forward some time and I was sitting in her kitchen while she fed me a ginormous bowl of it.
I was blown away! It was so rich and delicious. I happily ate the entire bowl and was ready to recreate it in my own kitchen.
With a twist to make it my own.
Happily for me I got to participate in this awesome blogger round robin with these super ladies! We are each recreating another’s most popular post and I was able to snag the Dirt Cake before anyone else.
So without further ado, I give you the Peanut Butter Cup Oreo Dirt Cake!
The original recipe comes from Melissa’s aunt and it is so good that I didn’t even really want to tweak it. I made two tiny changes just to put my own spin on it, but stuck pretty closely to the original recipe. I used regular vanilla pudding instead of french vanilla and I changed up the Oreo flavor by using Peanut Butter Cup Oreos. That’s it, you just don’t mess with a good thing!
This dessert is very decadent, so a little tends to go a long way. This would be great to serve at a dinner party in a large trifle dish. You’ll undoubtedly get lots of oohs and aahs as you bring it to the table. I chose to put mine in mason jars for the kiddos and wine glasses for a recent girl’s night. Everyone raved about it!
Make sure to check out Melissa’s version so you can see how it great it looks in a trifle dish, with a fun surprise! You will not be disappointed! And be sure to hop around and take a peek at the rest of the fun with this blogger round robin. Melissa even recreated my $10 and 10 minute window valance.
Oooo, love the idea of serving this in wine glasses – it looks absolutely delicious!
