Dino Dig OREO® Cake
You’ve discovered the perfect kitchen craft to do with your kids. Grab your little archaeologists and get ready for 13 steps, and of course, a delicious OREO® Ice Cream Cake.
Supplies:
- OREO® Ice Cream Cake
- OREO® cookies
- Silicone dinosaur bones mold
- White chocolate
- Pretzel sticks
- Chocolate puffed rice cereal
- Chocolate rocks
- New paintbrushes (for excavating fun!)
STEP 1:
Crush OREO® cookies in food processor. Gather all your ingredients (everything open and easy to access) since you will have to move fast once it’s time to decorate the cake.
STEP 2:
Melt white chocolate according to package directions. Pour immediately into a silicone dinosaur bone mold.
STEP 3:
Scrape away all excess chocolate so the bones are smooth. Allow to cool completely.
STEP 4:
Once completely hardened, remove from the mold. Don’t worry if your bones crack—that’s what you want! Tip: this is an easy step to do ahead.
STEP 5:
This is where you want to move quickly! Remove your OREO® Ice Cream Cake from the package and place onto a serving pedestal.
STEP 6:
Invite the kids to start by adding a pretzel “fence” around the perimeter of the cake.
STEP 7:
Once the fence is complete, cover the top of the cake completely with crushed OREO® crumbs (dirt).
STEP 8:
Top OREO® dirt with white chocolate dinosaur bones.
STEP 9:
Cover bones with more OREO® dirt. Bones should not be showing at all.
STEP 10:
To add to the “dirt” look, sprinkle chocolate puffed rice cereal and chocolate rocks on top.
STEP 11:
Let the kids dig in… literally! Start excavating with the paintbrushes.
STEP 12:
Once the bones are all dug up, enjoy your OREO® Ice Cream Cake!
