This is a fun recipe that kids - and adults of all ages will love and a terrific treat to Celebrate Earth Day on April 22.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 box chocolate cake mix (prepare as directed on box)
- 4 cups chocolate pudding
- 16 oz whipped topping
- 9 oz chocolate wafer cookies or chocolate bear shaped grahams
- 4.5 oz package gummy worms
- Easter edible grass
- Large bowl or bucket or individual cups
MAKE BEFORE
- Prepare and bake cake as directed on box.
- After baking is complete, it is time to chop up your masterpiece! Just take a knife and cut the cake into cubes. No need to be neat or exact, this can be done right in the pan it was baked in.
- Let cubed cake sit until cool.
- Crush chocolate wafers/grahams. This can be done in a food processor or by placing them in a plastic baggie and crushing them with a can, rolling pin, etc. My kiddos like to crush them with their plastic hammers.
CREATE YOUR GARDEN
- Place 1/2 of the cake into the bottom of the bowl/bucket.
- Layer 1/2 of the whipped topping on top of the cake.
- Spread 2 cups of pudding on to the whipped topping.
- Repeat steps 1, 2 and 3. The top layer of pudding should be smooth and about 1/2 - 1 inch from the top of the bowl/bucket.
- Pour crushed wafer/graham pieces evenly over the top of the pudding.
- Place gummy worms in dirt.
- You can either use a serving spoon or shovel to serve this!!
Make individual serving size Worms and Dirt just build it in paper or plastic cups.
