Dirt Pudding Dessert Recipe: A Fun Recipe to Make With Kids While We Wait for Spring Desserts

This is one of the most fun snack or dessert recipes I’ve ever made with my kids. They love helping to make it (what kid doesn’t love working with “worms?”) and they certainly love the result! 

At this point in the year when we’re a little tired of winter and ready for spring, playing in “the dirt” seems extra fun. So easy and delicious, too!

Ingredients

• 1 package (16 ounces) Oreos, crushed (including white part)

• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 2 small packages (3.9 ounces each) vanilla instant pudding mix or chocolate instant pudding mix
• 1 container (12 ounces) Cool Whip
• gummy worms

Here's how to make it: 

1. In a bowl, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar and butter together. Set aside.
2. In another bowl, mix milk and pudding. Fold in Cool Whip. Add cream cheese mixture. Beat for 2 minutes.
3. Stir in most of the gummy worms, saving some for the top.
4. Using a cake pan or individual cups, layer crushed cookies and pudding, ending with cookies. Add remaining gummy worms on top.
