This past Wednesday was national gummi worm day.  Did you celebrate?  Even if you had no idea that such a silly little holiday existed, these fun pudding cups are a hit with the crowd 3 feet and under; although I’m pretty smitten with them and I’m over 5 foot.  No matter your height, age, or maturity level these are fun to make, and even more fun to eat.

Gummy Worm Dirt Cups
sometimes known as: dirt cake

chocolate pudding
oreo cookies, crushed
gummi worms (we hold a special place in our hearts for the sour ones)

Fill each cup with desired amount of pudding, top with a worm or two, sprinkle some crumbled cookies on top and shock your guests with the deliciousness of an earth friendly dessert!

A few facts about these sugary invertebrates:

• Gummi worms were first made in 1981 in germany.
• They were meant for children to freak out their parents.
• Gummi worms are the most popular gummi candy made today.
• People make movies about gummi worms.
• Gummi worms even have a facebook page.  That’s when you know people really love something; they have a following.
