Chef's Note
This one is very easy to make at Halloween with the children, let them go wild!
Method
1. Have the kids crush the biscuits in a food bag with a rolling pin until they look like “soil” – some finer, some chunkier is fine.
2. Mix the crushed biscuits with the brown sugar and melted butter in a bowl until it clumps together like damp soil.
3. Stir the LittlePod Vanilla Paste through the yoghurt or custard.
4. Let the kids build the jars in layers: a spoonful of biscuit “soil”, then stewed apple, then vanilla yoghurt, repeating until the jar is full, finishing with a layer of biscuit soil on top.
5. Chill for at least an hour to firm up.
6. Just before serving, press a jelly worm into the top of each jar so it looks like it’s crawling out of the soil.
