Spring Style Cup of Dirt Dessert





I was in charge of the treat for the preschool Easter party today.  It's been a busy week and I wanted something easy and cute.  I decided to do a spring style cup of dirt dessert.  It's easy and yummy.  I've always used chocolate pudding and chocolate sandwich cookies, but I thought the vanilla was a nice change.  And add a peep on top for a color pop and you're done!  Best of all the kids really liked it.

2 large boxes of vanilla pudding, made according to directions (I made mine the night before so all I had to do in the morning was assemble.  I also used whole milk to make it more rich.)
1 large package of vanilla sandwich cookies, crumbled (I used two rows.)
1 package of gummy worms (I used two worms per cup.)
12 peeps (I used purple and blue chicks.)
12 clear 9 oz cups (be sure and get the clear ones so you can really see the layers and the worms.)

With each cup place 1/4 cup of pudding in the bottom.  Then stick the worms in and drape them over the side of the cup so they don't fall in.  Next, add a layer of cookie crumbs.  I think mine were about a 1/2 inch think.  Then add another 1/4 cup layer of pudding, and top it with another layer of crumbs.  Add the peep on top and push it down a little to keep it in place.  And you're done.  This recipe makes, you guessed it, 12 dirt cups.
