Oreo Dirt Poke Cake

There’s no sharing this Oreo Dirt Cake! The chocolate cake is soaked in hot fudge and covered with a Chocolate Oreo Mousse also known as “dirt”. This was my favorite childhood snack!

What a kick weekend in Vermont. I flew home for about 48 hours to help take care of my dad while he is recovering from his double knee replacement. He’s a trooper, trying to show me his dance moves with his walker as he made his way down the hallway.
I did my part, making him batches of my favorite snickerdoodle cookies and some bourbon salted caramel cookies. Plus I stocked the freezer with some dinners, did the laundry and helped clean up the house. It was a quick weekend but I got to have my favorite pumpkin ice cream and my favorite local beer, so all in all a win win! Plus we even got about 6 inches of snow the night before I left. It looks so different when the ground is covered with snow.
