Dirt Cups
I’m not going to lie. These dirt cup desserts are not anything gourmet. With that said, they are such a perfect, festive treat that can be made in no time.
In fact, they are so easy, you could gather kids and have them help you make them!
How can anyone, especially kids, not just LOVE the gummy worms coming out of dirt they can actually eat?
Perfect For:
- Halloween parties
- Construction birthday parties
- Earth Day
- After-school snack
- Summer activity
- Family Reunions
What You Need To Make Dirt Cups:
- Chocolate pudding
- Crushed chocolate cookies like Oreos
- milk
- frozen whipped topping, optional
- gummy worms
Basically you’ll just make the chocolate pudding according to the package directions. You can stir in Cool Whip or a frozen whipped topping to make the chocolate pudding more light and creamy if you’d like.
Then layer the “mud” on the bottom of the cup or bowl, sprinkle crushed Oreos on top, and then top with gummy worms!
