ORIGINAL NO-BAKE DIRT PIE WITH WORMS

Original No-Bake Dirt Pie With Worms image

This pie is so easy to make and is ALWAYS the first thing to go at pot lucks! Everyone loves this and kids and adults ask for me to make this for parties. You can substitute "light" ingredients, but it loses something with the "fat free" stuff.
