Notes
Oreo Dirt Cake is best served cold. Scoop out portions into bowls and enjoy! You can also garnish individual servings with extra crushed Oreos or gummy worms for a fun touch. To store, cover it tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and keep it in the refrigerator. It's best eaten within 3 to 4 days to maintain freshness. Ensure the cake is completely cooled before crumbling to prevent mushiness. Consider adding cocoa powder between layers for extra flavor. Feel free to experiment with toppings like chocolate sprinkles or mini chocolate chips.
