We ate DIRT!

Our first 'cooking' activity for the week was to make 'Dirt Cups' for dessert!

My son had an absolute blast making these. First of all, he LOVES to cook. And secondly, he was thrilled at the idea of fooling Dad with these cups of dirt with worms sticking out of them. He could not wait to see Dad's reaction as he took a bite out of one after dinner.

Ingredients are simple (yet not the healthiest by any means):
Oreo cookies, chocolate pudding, and gummy worms.



If you have clear plastic or glass cups they work perfectly! First make the pudding according to directions. Put a small amount of pudding in each cup - we used about 1/3 cup pudding per cup. Next insert one worm per cup. Sticking the worm halfway into the pudding and halfway sticking out. Then, mash up several oreos (I think we used 6) so they are in very small chunks. Spread the oreo 'dirt' on top of the pudding partially covering up the worm. And - tah dah! You have Dirt Cups! Enjoy :)
