directions
- Bake cake mix according to directions on box for 9x13 pan and cool.
- I use a huge bowl so I do 2 sets of layers.
- Layer 1 Once the cake is cooled cut into squares (makes it easier to crumble) and start to crumble it for you first layer. Note: Only for this first layer of cake, press into the bottom of the bowl.
- Layer 2 Mix chocolate pudding according to package directions (don't let it set because it can just be poured over the cake layer easier).
- Layer 3 Cool Whip (spread on with spatula to cover pudding).
- Repeat layer process one more time. Then top it with an extra layer of dirt( crumbled cake) for the gummy worms to sit on.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Top with Gummy Worms just before serving.
- You can also make these in little individual cups for a kid party. Just do 1 layer of each and 1 extra layer of dirt (cake) Top with 1 or 2 gummy worms.
- Note: Prep and Cooking Time do not include cooling time for cake or setting time in the refrigerator.

My son doesn't usually like cake and we were trying to find an alternative for his Birthday Cake. This recipe really appealed to him. We all enjoyed the trifle. This large trifle is definitely for sharing. The only change I made was that I put gummy worms throughout the layers. It made serving a little more challenging but the kids enjoyed the extra worms. Thank you for helping me give my son a Birthday Cake he finally enjoyed.
