The Soil
1-19.9 oz Betty Crocker Dark Chocolate Fudge Brownie Mix,
prepared as noted below with water, eggs, and oil
The Clay
1/2 cup milk
1 can sweetened condensed milk, refrigerated
1-3.9 oz box of instant chocolate pudding mix
1-8 oz container of whipped topping
The Topsoil
About 15 Oreo cookies, pulverized to look like top soil
Flower Materials
2 (4.5") glazed flower pots, cleaned and dried
2 straws (preferably with big holes)
Flowers of your choice such as daises, asters,
chrysanthemums, carnations, orchids, etc
Pinch off pieces of brownies in small "clods of dirt" and add the clods to the bottoms of the pots – about
1" deep. Slightly pack the clods into the bottoms. Place the straws upright in the center of the pots.
Sprinkle a few walnuts on top of the clods. Next, add a layer of the clay (chocolate mousse) to each pot.
Add another layer of brownie clods, more walnuts, and then another layer of mousse. Add a final layer
of brownie clods and lightly pack but do not add additional mousse or walnuts. Snip off the straw about
1/4" above the brownies. At this point, you may enclose the entire pot in plastic wrap (including the
bottom) and refrigerate until needed (maybe up to a day).
When ready to serve, add two to three flowers to each straw – trimming the stems as needed to the
appropriate height. Add a layer of the crushed Oreos to the top – making sure to cover the straw so it
cannot be seen.
