How to Make Dirt Cake

Learning how to make dirt cake is really easy. For parties, it is easiest to make individual servings so the guests can help themselves.

Just follow these simple instructions to find out how it's done:

Ingredients:

• 2 cups cold milk


• 1 (4 oz.) pkg. chocolate instant pudding


• 8 oz. Cool Whip, thawed


• 1 (16 oz.) pkg. Oreos, crushed and divided


• 8-10 (8 oz.) clear plastic cups


• Gummy worms

Instructions:

Pour 2 cups cold milk into bowl. Add pudding mix. Beat with wire whisk until well blended. Let stand 5 minutes.

Stir whipped topping and 1/2 of the crushed cookies into the pudding, very gently until mixture is all the same color.

Place 1 tablespoon of remaining cookies into bottom of cups. Fill little cups about 3/4 full with pudding mixture. Top each cup with the rest of the crushed cookies.

Put cups into refrigerator to chill until set, about 1 hour. Garnish with gummy worms.

Makes 8-10 servings.

For a creative twist, make a flower pot dirt cake!

Prepare the dessert the same way, using little flower pots instead of cups.

Cut colorful flower shapes out of cardstock, attach a lollipop to the center, and use the stick to secure the flower into the "dirt."

To make it extra special, finish it off with ribbon and a tag that has each child's name on it.

If you don't want to make the flowers, just stick a "faux" flower or two in the middle of each pot.

Add a few gummy worms and you're good to go!
