Make The World Better One Cupcake at a Time

Enjoy this fun, sweet recipe for the whole family to celebrate with on Earth Day. 

 

Ingredients

  • 2 packages of instant pudding mix
  • 3 cups of milk
  •  1 cup of confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 8-ounce package of softened cream cheese
  •  ¼ cup softened butter
  • 1 container of frozen whipped cream
  • 1 package of chocolate cream-filled cookies that you will crush
  • 1 bag of candy worms
  • Cupcake pan

Instructions

  1. Whisk the pudding mix and the milk in a large bowl for about two minutes or until ingredients are combined. The pudding will thicken as it sets.
  2. Get another bowl and mix in the cream confectioners’ sugar, cream cheese and butter until it is a smooth and creamy mix.
  3. Combine both bowls’ contents into one and mix thoroughly.
  4. After everything is combined, fold the whipped cream into the mixture.
  5. Crush the cream filled cookies. Put them into a Ziplock bag and crush the cookies with your hand or heavy and sturdy object.
  6. After you have crushed the cookies, place enough into the cupcake cups to cover the bottom. The rest of the crushed cookies will go on top. 
  7. Fill each cupcake cup with the mix you made but leave room for the rest of the cookies to go on top.
  8. After you have added the mix, put the rest of the crushed cookies on top. Add a few candy worms to the top.
  9. Place in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to let everything set.

After it is completed, enjoy your Earth Day dirt dessert.
