    Oreo Dirt Cake is a scrumptious sweet treat recipe layered with cake, fudge, pudding, and Oreos! Packed with flavor, this dessert is a hit with everyone!

    Just a few days ago, I shared a quick picture of this cake on my Instagram page. I titled the picture “sneak peek” and moved on. Yes, I knew I would be posting it to the blog, but I had planned on adding some other recipes first.

    Within about 3 hours, I had over 50 requests to share this recipe! Wow! Well, this recipe quickly moved to the top of the list and I hope it lives up to expectation for you all!

    Truth be told, I had been promising my hubby this cake for weeks. Each time I mentioned plans to make it, something would come up. Either we had too many sweets on hand already, I had too many other things to do and no time to bake, or I was missing an ingredient (thank you kids for raiding the pantry, haha).

    However, this past week, I set some time aside on Monday and decided to surprise the hubby with this for dessert.

    His favorite cookie is Oreo’s and he LOVES pudding, so I knew this would be a hit!

    I did take a few shortcuts and use boxed cake mix, so if you want to make yours from scratch, you definitely can!

    Not only did this cake come together quickly (minus needing to allow time for the layers to set), but it was packed with flavor!

    My kids and hubby had a piece for their dessert after dinner and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it!

    If you’re going to a picnic, potluck, or having people over…I definitely suggest making this! You can even prep it ahead of time!

    I hope you enjoy! Come connect on Instagram so you don’t miss any “sneak peek” recipes! Click HERE!
