GUMMY WORMS! SOUR GUMMY WORMS! GIANT GUMMY WORMS! MINI GUMMY WORMS! MINI SOUR GUMMY WORMS!

can you tell I have little boys in the house?!?

The Dirt Cake I was thinking about really isn't a cake at all. It's a dessert made with pudding.
Not "gourmet", but very good and a good project for the Jr. Chef in your home.

DIRT Cake
1 16 oz. Pkg Oreos, crushed
2 c. cold milk
1 4 serving pkg Jello Chocolate Pudding Mix
1 8 oz. tub of Cool Whip
Decorations: Gummy worms, candy flowers, chopped peanuts, granola (A BIG plastic bug hidden in the middle would be funny too)
Put the cookies into a ziplock bag and crush using a rolling pin.
Pour milk into a bowl and add pudding, whisk 1 to 2 minutes and let stand 5 minutes. Stir in cool whip and 1/2 of the crushed cookies.
Place 1/4 of the remaining crumbs and pour in the pudding mix. To with the remaining crumbs and decorate with the gummy worms. Make sure some are sticking up and out of the dessert.

Yep made that one when my boys were in preschool, I think they have more garden variety gummy critters available to decorate your "mud"......sayyyyyyy remember the creepy crawlers edible bug kit from the mid/late 60's guess late 60's. You poured edible goop in a hot mold and made bugs.Wonder why those toys ever went assunder.

What I want to know is how we got from cloches to cakes that look like a kitty litter box with little "gifts" in the litter???

LOL!! Don't blame me! Somehow the thread turned to 'dirt cake' and edible worms. Yikes! Figured the kitty litter cake fit right in.

Well, the kitty litter cake could conceivably be baked in a cloche, so we are theoretically still on topic.

It's Evolution! In the beginning there was a cloche that no one knew how to use. Well when trying to consider the uses that should partake in this cloche alot ideas came to mind. As time went by people pondered using it as a planter others thought about cooking in it, possibly wearing it as an attractive hat to exercise the neck. But there were rumors of a distant cousin the Cloche might have... it's relative the "kitty litter box". Well when in constant observation of the kitty litter box's daily operations it was thought that this must be a very, very, very distant cousin. With the little surprises the cloche's cousin had lingering also taking in to concern that the cloche liked to contain and present surprises also. Although the cloche was kind of "rounded" out in attitude and the kitty litter box was sort of a "square". As the time goes by, one day in the near future we will find the truth, the history, of this long-standing unknown legend!

The Legend of the Cloche. I like it. Can't wait for your further research findings.

I hate to dig up old bones, and I don't want to get in the way of a good thread drift but...

Did anybody come up with insight on using a cloche? I read the link that momoreg provided and my curiosity is piqued. Given the path I have chosen in another thread, I have a feeling I won't be able to help myself.
