Worms and Dirt Dessert

The Concept of the Worms and Dirt Pie Camping Dessert

This camp dessert just needs to be "put together" at camp. No cooking is involved. The base ingredient is the instant chocolate pudding, which must be prepared before the trip, at home, then the other ingredients; the gummy worms, chocolate cookie crumb dirt, and Cool-whip topping are all mixed and combined at camp, by the kids.
