Snacks that start with D - Delicious Dirt Cups

Don’t let the name—or the appearance—of this snack fool you! These delicious dirt cups may look like dirt, but I think you’ll agree that they taste much better!

This fun hands-on snack is as much fun to build as it is to eat, so get ready to pull up your sleeves and dig in the dirt and hunt some worms.

If you and your little one enjoy this snack, I have lots more for you to make together. There are more than forty snack recipes in my ABC Snacks Series. And each snack is yummier and more fun than the one before it, so be sure to check them all out!

These girls had a wonderful time making (and eating) their dirt snack. Why don’t you try it too…I don’t think you’ll be disappointed!

My kids love this snack. We add in working on colors and numbers while adding the gummy worms.
