Yuk! Who wants to eat a cup of soil full of wiggly worms? Kids do, that's who!
Not only are these wormy desserts fun to make, they're edible, too! You'll need:
Chocolate blancmange (pudding) mix
Gummy worms
Cocoa powder or hot chocolate mix
Chocolate sprinkles - optional
Clear plastic cups
How to make:
1. Make the chocolate blancmange or pudding and cool in the refrigerator.
2. Put individual portions of blancmange/pudding into clear plastic cups. Don't smooth the top of the blancmange/pudding – you want it to resemble earth.
3. Sprinkle cocoa powder or hot chocolate onto the surface along with some chocolate sprinkles (if used).
4. Place a few gummy worms into each cup, pushing the down into the 'earth'. It's ok if their heads stick up.
5. Keep in the refrigerator until it's time to serve.You can also use a big, clear bowl instead of individual cups if preferred.

Imagine the pride your child will feel when friends arrive to a house decorated with the child's own handiwork and enjoy food prepared by his or her own young hands.
Get crafting and make this a birthday to remember.
Remember: never to let a child use a sharp knife or scissors without the supervision of a responsible adult.
