Boozy Insect Desserts

This Halloween Pudding Snack Features Edible Worms and Dirt

— October 30, 2015 — Lifestyle
This tantalizing pudding snack cleverly replicates worms crawling through dirt making it the perfect for parties and events for adults to have during Halloween thanks to the added bourbon. Despite the gruesome aesthetic, both the worms and the dirt are made from sweet treats making them perfectly edible.

The dessert begins with a homemade parfait made from pumpkin spice pudding containing pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, vanilla, spices and cornstarch and dark chocolate pudding with dark chocolate, cocoa powder, cream, sugar and bourbon. Crushed Oreo cookies are then added to replicate the texture of dirt and sour gummy worms to look like live worms. The worms can be arranged to look as though they're crawling out of the cup. This is a great nostalgic dessert for adults to have during Halloween.
