Dirt pies recipe.

 Hey readers, 

If you want a fun and yukky recipe for kids, look no further, as I have the perfect mud pie recipe.

Ingredients.

* Ready to roll puff pastry. 

* 150g of chocolate buttercream. 

* 2 ready-made chocolate muffins. 

* 2 tbsp of golden caster sugar. 

* 75g black ready-to-roll fondant.

* Handful of chocolate-covered raisins. 

* Handful of mint leaves.  

Method. 

1. Use a cuttie cookie and cut out nine cookie shapes. Place them into a Yorkshire pudding tray, and cook them in a 180c fan oven for 15/20 minutes. 

2. Place them onto a cool rack for 5 minutes to cool down. 

3. Spread a teaspoon of chocolate frosting into the bottom of each pastry shell and use the back of the spoon to smooth it down.

4. Crumble the muffins into a bowl and stir the sugar. Sprinkle on top of the chocolate frosting. 

5. Sprinkle more sugar on the crumbled muffins to resemble sand. 

6. To make the slugs and bugs, roll the fondant into sausage shapes and add two little antennae on top. Add a few small fondant sausages for the legs of the bugs. Use a knife to add a little detail to the back of the slugs. 

7. Add the chocolate-covered raisins as a pebble path, then small bunches of mint leaves as bushes and chopped chives as grass. Add your slugs and bugs on top as a finishing touch. 

Enjoy.
