Name: Frozen Dirt Cake Bars
Prep time: 30 min
Total time: 30 min
Ingredients: 1 box family sized Oreos; 8 oz cream cheese (softened); 14 oz sweetened condensed milk; 8 oz whipped topping; 3/4 stick unsalted butter (melted); 1 tsp vanilla extract or paste; 1 tsp cocoa powder; gummi worms for garnish

One of my favorite desserts growing up was dirt cake! Not only was it just a bonus two in one dessert with the gummi worms but it was just delicious.

I am a sucker for Oreo desserts like this but do you want to know a little secret? Just eating a plain Oreo… meh. I’m not that crazy about them, but crush them up and add them to desserts and things I’m all over that!

I really don’t get it… another one of my many silly qualities I suppose. With our frozen desserts series in full swing I knew I had to do a throw back dirt cake recipe. And dare I say… this is my new favorite?!
