My son recently turned 3 years old and we hosted his birthday in our home and did all of the decorating ourselves. We enjoy hosting birthday parties for our children and this year we did a Construction Site theme for his party. My son is really into construction vehicles, diggers, dump trucks, bull dozers, cement trucks, etc. The perfect theme for him!

Over the next few weeks I’ll be sharing some Construction Site Birthday Theme Party Ideas with all of you and linking them together. This was a really fun theme do to! If you like our Construction Site Birthday Cupcakes, you can check out our Birthday Cupcakes post. We also did a craft activity and made Construction Hats & Helmets which were then used as the Birthday Party Hats. You can check out that post for details.
For his party one of the treats that we made were these easy-to-make Dirt Chocolate Pudding Cups with Gummy Worms. All of the kids loved them and we were able to make 2 dozen of them in less than an hour. For the cookies, we used Oreo’s. You’ll want to make these up the morning of the party and refrigerate them until party time.
Dirt Chocolate Pudding Cups with Gummy Worms
Chocolate Pudding Cups
Pkg. Chocolate Sandwich Cookies with Creme Filling
1 Gallon Zipper Close Storage Bag
Wooden Rolling Pin
1 Large Pkg. Gummy Worms
1 Spoon
Remove the lid from each of the pudding cups. Place the chocolate sandwich cookies into the large zipper close storage bag, purge out the air and zip shut. Use the wooden rolling pin to crush the sandwich cookies up into crumbs. Use scissors to snip the tip off of your storage bag and drizzle the crumbs into each cup on top of the chocolate pudding. This will serve as the “dirt”.
Use the handle from a spoon to make a hole (tunnel) in each pudding cup going through the crumbs and the pudding. Insert one gummy worm down through your tunnel, leaving most of your gummy worm exposed and hanging out of the top.
I placed them all into a large glass Pyrex baking dish that I had and placed plastic wrap over-the-top. You’ll want to put them into the refrigerator until party time. Remove and then serve.

I work in a garden center and I made these for my co-workers! Gun and yummy!
We made a variation of this during the summer but I like this recipe better with the gummy worms hanging out the top. Fun for a Halloween party.
I’ve had the ‘dirt and worms’ dessert before, and it really is good, lol. Needless to say, kids love this stuff, too.
This is such a cute idea. I have made this before but with a chocolate cake instead of pudding. They loved the idea.
