Ingredients

1 9x13 cake baked and frozen
2 pounds white chocolate melting discs
Food coloring
Wilton cake sealer optional

Instructions

Bake a cake in a 9×13 pan. You can make whatever flavor you wanT even a box mix. Cook it as you normally would, and let it cool completely upsidedown on a rack. Place the entire rack into your freezer to freeze the cake, which will make it much easier to cut evenly for the squares.
Place your cake – still upsidedown on a cutting surface. Use your cake rack as a cutting guide to start so that it will be cut ineven slices. Use a sharp serrated knife, to cut through the frozen cake cleanly and easily.

Once you’ve cut the short side, slice them two rows at a time into squares again using your cooling rack as a guide to start. Once you have a few pieces cut, use a piece as your guide for how wide the squares should be so they are all even.
Use the Wilton cake seal product to spray the sides of the cake to prevent crumbs as you cover them in melted white chocolate.

To coat the squares in chocolate, carefully melt your chocolate either over a double boiler or in the microwave, about 2 cups per batch. Keep stirring and remove from the heat (or microwave) before the chocolate is all melted to ensure it doesn’t burn. Add the coloring to the level that you want for the dirt brown and stir to ensure the chocolate is still thin and warm.

Using a fork, dip the cake square into the chocolate and turn to coat completely or spoon chocolate atop it to cover.
Carefully lift the cake square with the fork and tap it on the edge of the bowl until all excess chocolate is off the cake square and back into your bowl.
Still using your fork, carefully place the cake square onto the cooling rack and pull down with the tines to release the fork below the cooling rack.
If your chocolate starts to thicken, reheat it just a little until it regains its smooth texture and consistency. As you run low on chocolate, melt more and add it to your bowl, again coloring it.
Once you’ve completed all the dirt squares, melt more white chocolate, place it in a new bowl and color it grass green. Pushing from under the cooling rack to carefully release any cake square that may be stuck to the rack, pick up a cake square and dip it into the green colored chocolate. Swirl it just a touch so that the chocolate comes down the side just a little instead of only on the top.
Lift and flip it in your hand so that the green is on top. To get the top smooth, simply shake the cake square back and forth in your hands for a couple seconds, then place the cake square back onto the cooling rack. Repeat with as many of the cake squares as your want to have grass tops and leave the remaining as dirt squares.
Once the chocolate has completely cooled and solidified, place the squares on a large plate and stack them up like a Minecraft field. Serve and enjoy.

Notes

If you don't have any Wilton cake seal, that's fine. Just make sure your cake is free from crumbs before you start and that your chocolate is warm enough that it’s thin enough to work with easily.
You can use dark chocolate instead of white chocolate.
