Your little boy, or your little tomboy, will have fun with these slime-tastic ideas. Psyche out friends and family with treats like mud pies or cups of dirt and slime. Sound gross? Yep, that's the whole idea!

Mud Pies

You can make individual mud pies or one large mud pie. Start with ready to use pie crusts made from graham cracker or cookie crumbs. Whip up a batch of chocolate pudding according to the package directions. Pour into pie crusts and chill. While the filling chills, crumble up your favorite chocolate cookies. Chocolate sandwich cookies work great, or you pick up chocolate cookie crumbs near the ice cream toppings. Top the pie (or pies) with crumbles and insert a few Gummy Worms so they are sticking out of the pie.

You can also make mud pies from chocolate cupcakes. Bake as normal and once they cool, remove the paper and hollow out the center. Fill with chocolate pudding and then top with cookie crumbs and add worms. For a really gooey treat, add fudge sauce before topping with cookie crumbs.

Dirt and Slime Cups

Make green Jell-O according to package directions. Place Gummy Worms in the bottom or clear plastic cups and fill with Jell-O liquid. Chill until firm and then top with chocolate syrup and chocolate cookie crumbs.

Slime Jigglers

You can also make gross out green Jell-O Jigglers. Use all boiling water instead of adding cold and stir until Jell-O mix is completely dissolved. Pour into a baking pan and add Gummy Worms. Chill until firm. Cut into shapes or use cookie cutters, making sure each Jiggler contains a worm, or at least part of one... Eeewwww! Decorate with green cake decorating gel if desired.

Add other Gummy Bugs to any of the treats. Besides worms, you can find bugs and even tarantulas. Add these to party favors and treat bags too!
