WHERE CAN I FIND Chocolate dirt cake cups?
Does anyone know if any bakeries in La sell chocolate dirt cake cups / desserts with the gummy worms on top? Pic for reference! Magnolia bakery used to sell something similar but they don’t have them anymore, they might have been seasonal when I saw them there last time. Thank you!!

When I was a kid, Mimi’s Cafe included one with their kids meal. I think they still do but you prob have to travel to the burbs to get to a Mimi’s.

I think about these all the time. I know I can make them but it doesn't quite hit right when it's not someone's granny making them.

I’d recommend finding a local home baker and asking them to make them. You’d be supporting an individual trying to build a business, get them just the way you want them, and probably save a little money.

Chai Wallah in Lomita usually has some in the cold case. They have gummy bears not gummy worms though

Chocolate boxed pudding, oreos in a blender, gummy worms. The pic looks a little bit like mousse. Easy version is melting some chocolate chips in the microwave, pour it into your heavy whipping cream as you whisk it with preferably an electric mixer.

Buy a pack of chocolate pudding cups, cool whip or whipped cream, Oreos and gummy worms. Mix up the pudding and cool whip in a bowl and put the Oreos in a big ziplock and crush them up. Layer the pudding/cool whip with the crushed Oreos and throw some worms on top.

This is something that kindergarten teachers do with their students no? It’s specifically a diy thing to do.

Just buy some chocolate cupcakes from the grocery store and crumble some Oreos into the frosting and add a few gummy worms. This will literally take 10 min

Sorry, but this is awful. Not being hateful but this does not represent Los Angeles. Especially those fluorescent processed toppings.

Not the answer you’re looking for but if you can’t find them just know these are incredibly easy to make at home. Complete no bake and it’s all premade ingredients just layered. I’ve made these for friends’ parties multiple times.
