Dirt Cups
Average User Rating:
Little boys and girls love gross-out food, and these delicious dirt cups are just that. Crushed chocolate cookies and instant chocolate pudding make the muddy earth in these cups, while gummi worms and insects wriggle out of them. You can even tuck them into new, foil-lined clay pots, if you like.
