Halloween Dirt CakeA dessert made to resemble dirt surely would peek anyone’s interest just a bit. This fun and easy Dirt Cake recipe is great for kids birthdays, spring celebrations, and of course as a creepy Halloween dessert!

Kids love to make this dish as well so if you are having a fun Halloween party, this dessert can be made by them or they can decorate the cake during the party. Its a great way to keep kids entertained and make them feel as though they are a part of the celebration!

During the Halloween season we use a plastic cauldron we got from Amazon (around $12) and it really completes the look! You can also use a pan, deep dish, or other to build your cake recipe.
