Starlyn Baxter of Conyers offers this recipe for Dirt Cake. She said she still made the treat for her children, even when they were college-age, and they continued to ask for the gummy worms on top of the "dirt."
This can be made in flowerpots or in a bowl, sheet pan or glass baking dish. -- Marcia Langhenry
