Getting Wild with Wild Kratts

A birthday is just an excuse to have a really fun playdate. Birthdays are also great opportunities to emphasize values like togetherness, teamwork, creativity, and gratitude. I also like to show my children that although we are gluten-free, dairy-free etc, we still can have delicious fun with food!

Dirt Cup Recipe (Makes 15 dirt cups):
2 8 oz boxes of Kinnikinnick Foods KinniKritters Animal Cookies Gluten Free Chocolate (put in a ziplock bag and crush with a rolling pin)

4 boxes of European gourmet bakery organics chocolate pudding & pie filling mix (prep with egg and sub with almond milk instead of cow's milk)

1 10 oz container of Truwhip whipped topping (does contain a tinsy bite of dairy in the form of sodium caseinate, but it wasn't significant enough to bother our tummies etc)

3 80g packs of Haribo worms (beef gelatine halal)

Crush cookies to resemble dirt. After the pudding has chilled in the fridge over night mix it with Truwhip to resemble mud. Now layer. Sprikle a layer of crushed cookies in cup, then "mud" pudding-truwhip mixture, then dirt cookies, then poke the worms in. Tah DAHHHH!!!
