Build your Own Dirt Cups Snack Idea

Add an interactive element to your VBS snack station by making a build-your-own pudding dirt cups area.  Beat 2 cups of cold milk and 1 (40z) package of instant chocolate pudding mix together until well blended and slightly thickened; let stand to thicken, about 5 minutes.  Stir 1 (8oz) package of whipped topping and 1/2 of the crushed package of cookies into pudding. Spoon 1 tablespoon crushed cookies into each serving cup. Fill each cup 3/4-full with pudding mixture and top with remaining crushed cookies. Refrigerate for 1 hour.  Line Small Square Storage Baskets with wax paper and then fill them with a variety of add-ins plus Mini Wooden Serving Scoops.  Invite small groups of kids to come up and build their own dirt cup. This will be a big hit! Don’t forget to download your free printable food labels by clicking the button below!
