How to Make Dirt Cake Cups
Make the pudding. Using instant pudding makes this step fast and easy. You just need cold milk and a whisk.
Prep the pretzels. Put the OMG! Pretzels in a sandwich size plastic bag and be sure it’s sealed. Using a kitchen mallet, crush the pretzels until they are the desired size.
Layer the dirt cake cups. In small clear cups or glasses, add pudding, then pretzels, more pudding and another layer of pretzels. Top with gummy worms.
Let the dirt cake in a cup set. Before you serve these sweet summer treats, let the flavors meld and the pudding get really cold in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
