One cute way we’ve done this before is placing the whole mixture in a flower pot (lined with foil) and placing a stemmed silk flower down into the mixture. Then serve the pudding with a brand new trowel.
But for these kids, having the worms visible will be an “oooouwwww” treat! Now for those who are avoiding all additives, food colorings, etc. (Such as those on the Feingold Diet), this wouldn’t work, because the gummy worms are loaded with colorings and artificial flavorings; and so is the chocolate pudding mix.
Cups of Sand Option: For a chocolate-free version, uses vanilla pudding and vanilla sandwhich cookies instead of the Oreos. Skip the gummy worms, and top with gummy fish instead! If desired, serve in a little beach pail with a shovel.
