This is an old favorite and is a perfect Spring Time snack!
Great to send into your child’s classroom!
Little boys and girls love to play in the dirt, and these delicious dessert cups allow them to really enjoy it. Crushed chocolate cookies and instant chocolate pudding create a muddy earth in these cups, while gummy worms and insects wriggle out of them. You can even tuck them into new, foil-lined clay pots, if you like.
Ingredients
- 2 cups of cold milk
- 1 package (4 serving size) instant pudding (chocolate flavor)
- 3-1/2 cups (8 ounce container) whipped topping, thawed
- 1 package (16 ounces) chocolate sandwich cookies (crush them into tiny pieces in a plastic bag)
- Gummy worms or insects
Equipment:
- Measuring cup
- Medium mixing bowl
- Wire whisk
- Rubber scraper or large spoon
- Measuring spoons
- 8-10 paper or plastic cups (8 ounce size)
Cooking Instructions

Place about 1 tablespoon of the remaining crushed cookies into the bottom of each cup.
