Dirt and Worms Chex Mix – chocolate Chex cereal coated with chocolate pudding mix and tossed with chopped Oreo cookies and gummy worms. So easy and so cute!
How was your weekend?
We had the best of both worlds. On Saturday we were eating watermelon in the backyard while wearing shorts and then Sunday we watched snow fall all day long!
Gotta love Colorado!
I’m assuming most of your had nice Spring weather so I wanted to share this Spring treat! I think it’s my favorite thing I’ve made in months.
I know it looks like it’s for the kids but I won’t lie, it hit all my weird cravings on Saturday night – sweet and crunchy, chocolate, sour, chewy. I mean, everything I could ever want all in one cute little bucket!
And my kids went nuts for it, of course! They’re boys so they like anything gross and eating bugs and dirt was pretty exciting for them.
It would be super cute at a kids birthday party served in mini buckets with tiny shovels.

How Long Is Homemade Chex Mix Good For
This Dirt and Worms Chex Mix will stay good for several weeks (I usually say 2 weeks to be safe) if stored properly.
I like to store mine in this giant glass jar because it’s airtight and also looks so cute on the counter. A plastic storage container or ziploc bag with all the air squeezed out works too!
