Is there anything that looks more earthy than a dessert made out of "dirt" and "worms"?

Celebrate Earth Day with these treats made out of chocolate pudding, crushed Oreos, and gummy worms.

Dirt Dessert Cups

  • 2 cups cold milk
  • 1 (4-serving size) package instant chocolate pudding
  • 8 oz whipped topping
  • 1 to 1.5 cups crushed Oreos, divided
  • 20 gummy worms

1. Whisk milk and instant pudding 2 minutes, until pudding is completely dissolved. Let stand 5 minutes to thicken. Stir in whipped topping and 1/2 cup of the crushed cookies.

2. Fill cups or bowl with pudding mixture and top with remaining cookie crumbs. Place gummy worms in "dirt." Chill until ready to serve.
