Supplies:
Ingredients:
- Chocolate pudding, prepared
- Oreo cookie crumbs, or cookies smashed into crumbs
- Candy worms
Instructions:
1. Layer pudding and dirt into each cup.
2. Top with gummy worms and enjoy!
Tips and tricks:
- To help keep the sides of the cups clean, first scoop the pudding into a freezer or piping bag. Then cut the tip of the bag off and pipe the pudding into the cups.
- I think using instant pudding in this recipe is a great mom hack for saving time, but you can also make your own homemade pudding from scratch if you want.
- Don’t have Oreo crumbs on hand? Make them yourself using regular Oreo cookies or your favorite chocolate sandwich cookies. A food processor is the easiest way to get even, fine crumbs. Usually I just throw the cookies into a zip-top plastic bag and use a rolling pin to crush them up.
- In a large bowl, mix Cool Whip in with the prepared pudding. The whipped topping with give the pudding mixture a more mousse-like consistency.
- Instead of individual cups, make one large worms in dirt graveyard in a cake pan. Add cookie tombstones, candy pumpkins, and any other spooky elements you want.
- You could also make a Halloween dirt cake. Make a cake using your favorite recipe or a boxed mix. Use the pudding and cookie crumbs as the icing. Don’t forget the Halloween sprinkles!
- Make these fun Halloween dirt cups ahead of time. Store them in the fridge in an airtight container or covered with plastic wrap until ready to serve.
