This baking session was based on our book of the month, Preschool to the Rescue by Judy Sierra and Will Hillenbrand. Read about the book here and then you will understand why mud and dirt cupcakes fit right into our theme.

The boys started out in the kitchen with me, but decided that playing would be more fun than baking, so I was all by my lonesome. They came back in the end to decorate their cupcakes though.
Ingredients
1 chocolate cake mix
1 can chocolate frosting
24 gummy worms, each one cut into 2 pieces
1 chocolate pudding mix (4 serving box)
1 1/2 c. milk
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350* Prepare cake mix according to box. Fill liners 3/4 full and bake 18-20 minutes. Cool.
- While cupcakes are cooling, whisk the pudding mix and milk for 2 minutes. Refrigerate until set.
- Cut/scoop a small part out of the top of each cupcake.
- Let the kids fill each hole with a scoop of pudding mixture...fill with crumbled cake mix.
- Push gummy worm halves into the (dirt) aka crumbled cake mix.
- Keep refrigerated.
