adult twist on a childish favourite

In the spirit of all things garden. I decided to make a chocolate dirt pie just like my mother did for me when I was a kid. The secret is making your own homemade graham cracker crust which couldn't be easier! All you need to do is heat your oven to 350 degrees, crush about 8 full size crackers add to a medium sized bowl, add 1/4 cup of white sugar and about a 1/3 melted butter. Simply mix these three things together well and press into a pie tray. Add to preheated oven and bake for about 8 minutes. Feel free to use less sugar or omit and add a couple tablespoons of honey for it's natural sweetness and decrease to 1/4 of butter, just needs enough to coat all pieces.

crush em' real good

make sure to press against the sides of the pie dish

step 2: make chocolate instant pudding mix according to package directions, allow 10 minutes to set in fridge, it will thicken. Give it a quick stir and add to cooled pie crust

step 3: add a layer of fresh berries, choose your favourite or whats on sale... like  I did

huge strawberries, or just tiny hands

cover with a layer of cookie crumbs. I suggest Oreo

My boyfriend recently baught me a cake carring case, he knows me too well. Perfect since we are going to a dinner party at a freinds and bringing dessert. How clever.

This is a very easy almost no bake recipe that is perfect for those who want to make something fun, tasty and not too challenging. Hopefully you will all make this kid classic.
