2. Mud Cups
Mud or dirt cups rank second on our list of top 15 children birthday party food ideas. They are not snacks: they are full-blown desserts, and can be whipped up in no time. There’s no hard and fast rule about what you put in, as long as the end product even remotely resembles dirt! Kraft has a simple enough recipe, and of course, you can replace their cool whip and instant pudding suggestions with regular whipped cream and pudding. Your garnishes can be weird and wonderful; from the customary gummy worms, to an assortment of fruits, you can decorate with practically everything. Take inspiration from this person who made their cups look like miniature pumpkin patches, or this idea about turning it into a graveyard! You can also add vanilla pudding or cream cheese to your mud cup for a creamier result.
