Worms in Dirt

It’s much more appetizing than it sounds. For kids anyway… Because who needs fancy desserts when you can revel in the sophisticated elegance of dessert that looks like you dug it up in the backyard?

The combination is simple: take some gummy worms and bury them in a blend of crushed chocolate cookies. Voilà! You’ve got yourself a dessert that’s equal parts sweet, silly, and slightly gross. This recipe is a super simple addition to any Halloween party – especially when you are running short on time and you have kids to do all the dirty work (Pun intended).

Ingredients:

• Gummy worms
• Chocolate crackers

Let’s do this:

1. Crush chocolate cookies and place on a plate
2. Add gummy worms
