Notes

The 9oz plastic cups were filled to the top for this recipe. This can easily be made into 10 9oz dirt cups with smaller layers that only come half way in the cup.  
Storage tips: Cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Add gummy worms after refrigerating to they taste fresh. Freezing is not recommended.
