Dirt Brownies

I had left over dirt; well actually chocolate cookie crumbs. I made chocolate brownies for an Easter gathering. My six year old had fun spreading chocolate frosting on them and sprinkling the brownies with dirt AKA chocolate cookie crumbs.

I added some carrot sugar cookie I made and my three year old and six year old added gummy worms. My boys rarely get gummy anything. They were SUPER excited to eat some and add some worms to the dirt!

Dirt Cookies

I made some spring sugar cookies. Usually I make carrots, bunnies, eggs and chicks. This year I still made the usual and added in some squares and circles.

There are cupcakes on Jolly Mom that inspired me to create my Dirt Cookies.

I crushed up chocolate cookies I bought. 

Next I took the circle and square sugar cookies, frosted them with chocolate frosting, dipped them in the crushed chocolate cookies. There dirt was easy to create. My three year old loved helping me.

I then frosted my carrot cookies. Instead of only adding orange frosting, I added some more chocolate cookie crumbs into the frosting. I used green frosting and grass sprinkles for the steam. The back of the carrot had a touch of chocolate frosting added, just so they would in fact stick. Then they were pressed into the circles and squares.

 
I thought with some I could have bought gummy worms to add to the tops. Not this time though.

Reindeer Food

It looks like I have a few more carrot cookies to make! I have to cover all the reindeer!

This was my Grandma's giant plate. It has all kind of scratches in it that I rubber stamped out of the first image. I just love the plate {scratches and all}! 

These are now in my freezer waiting to be set out on Christmas Eve for Santa's reindeer.
