Recipe: Delicious Dirt Worm Pudding

If you're looking for a kid-friendly dessert the whole family can enjoy, here's a quick, easy and fun recipe you can make with help from the kids.

Note: No worms were harmed in the making of this pudding.

Here's what you'll need:

• 2 c. skim milk (for pudding)
• 1 package instant chocolate pudding mix
• 1 package Oreo cookies
• Gummy worms

Here's how to make it:

Following the directions on the box, mix up the pudding; set aside. Toss about a dozen Oreos into a gallon bag and smash 'em. (Ethan opted to use his fists, but a rolling pin works, too.)

Fill the bottoms of four 8-ounce cups with cookie crumbles. Add a layer of pudding, then alternate cookie crumbs and pudding until the cup is nearly full. Top with a gummy worm.

Served chilled with a shovel... er, spoon. Enjoy!
