Today is Gummi Worm Day. I know; it’s awfully specific. Trust me, there are more candy holidays than you could imagine.
So, how does one celebrate this auspicious occasion? The easiest way, of course, is to get yourself down to your favorite store and buy a bag to savor. BUT, readers of the Candy Dish Blog are way more creative than that, right?
My suggestion? Gummi worm cupcakes. You know I love a cupcake (from this post, or this one), so this probably comes as no surprise.
Here are the easy steps necessary to make the cupcakes:
- Make a batch of your favorite flavor of cupcake.
- While they bake, pulverize some chocolate cookies (a food processor will work, so will a plastic bag and a rubber mallet).
- Frost the cupcakes with chocolate icing (save yourself some time and buy it already made).
- Sprinkle the cookie “dirt” on top of the frosting.
- Poke a worm into the top of cupcake (you can use a straw to make a hole for him if necessary).
- Admire your handiwork and dig in!
