Dirt Cups








It was a birthday. My girl wanted to take a treat to school. I wanted to think of something different. I also had a hankering for that old time favorite. So I suggested the dirt cups, she loved it and frankly so did I.

Ingredients
2c milk
1 (4 serving) box of chocolate instant pudding mix
1 tub of frozen whipped topping, thawed
18-20 chocolate sandwich cookies
assorted gummy worms or bugs

Method
Pulse cookies in food processor until they are ground to fine crumbs.  Set aside.  Pour milk into large bowl and add pudding mix.  Whisk briskly for 2 minutes.  Gently fold in whipped topping until no white streaks remain.
Place a heaping spoonful of cookie crumbs into the bottoms of each glass or cup.  Fill most of the glass or cup with the pudding mixture.  Top with another spoonful of cookie crumbs.  You can use a straw to poke a hole in the top of the dirt to help make a space to insert the end of the gummy worms.








Store in refrigerator.  Makes 8-10 dirt cups, depending on the size of your glasses.  This is also great to make in a clean sand bucket and to use the shovel to scoop it out.
