I teach first graders about healthy eating, and recently when describing root vegetables, I ex­ plained that you are eating what is underground in the dirt. One smart kid was eager to remind me that we are not supposed to eat dirt. I asked, “What about dirt cups?” Without a doubt, the class knew what those were! As a child I ate these, and it is fun to see that kids still do. I am determined to keep the worms in and carry on the tradition.

  1. In a food processor, pulse the cookies until they look like soil.

  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the milk and pudding mixes for 2 minutes until thickened.
  4. Fold the whipped topping into the pudding.
  5. Fold the pudding mixture into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
  6. Spoon three-quarters of the crushed cookies and filling into eight to ten 8-ounce glasses, layering along the way. Chill for 30 minutes.
