Gluten Free Worms and Dirt Cake

When my children were growing up I loved to prepare scary dishes during the month of October. Worms and Dirt would have fit in nicely. Of course , not real worms in real dirt. I hope by now that most have heard of the childhood favorite of chocolate pudding, crushed oreos and gummy worms. The best part is this recipe is gluten free. While it may not look like the dirt pudding you may be familiar with it has all the flavors
