This faux mud pie is all about kids! It's not glamorous, but it is messy fun complete with "worms", "sticks" and "rocks" made of chocolate!
As I was trying to think up a fun "Halloween" themed recipe for this week something on TV caught my eye. My son was watching one of his favorite shows and the character on it was making mud pies. He said, "What if you could really eat a mud pie!" Ding, ding, ding....light bulb! So this weekend we whipped up a faux mud pie, complete with worms, sticks and rocks. It's may not be pretty but it was a lot of fun to make and my kids had a blast eating "mud pie"!
This is a super easy no bake pie. Whisk together a 3.4 package (small) of instant chocolate pudding with 1 ½ cups cold milk. Set aside and crush 15 oreo, creme filling and all into fine crumbs. I like to use my food processor for this. Then fold an 8 oz. tub of cool whip and the oreo crumbs into the chocolate pudding to create your "mud".
These are the "rocks" I used. I bought them at Hobby Lobby by the construction themed party stuff. Coarsely chopped silver sixlets would work just as well though.
Fold in the rocks and gummy worms. I think the next time I make this I will cut the worms in half or thirds and just use full worms for the top garnish.
Divide your faux mud pie mixture between 2 premade Oreo crusts. Garnish with additional rocks and gummy worms. Put your mud pies in the fridge for a couple hours. Poke pretzel sticks in your mud pie just before serving so they don't get soggy. Scoop out and serve!
