What You Need to Make Graveyard Oreo Cookies Dirt Cups

These ingredients are super simple and can be found at almost any grocery store. I usually keep these staples on hand during Halloween season!

Ingredients:

• 16 chocolate sandwich cookies (Oreos)
• 4 cups cold milk
• Two (3.4 oz) boxes instant chocolate pudding mix
• One 8 oz tub whipped topping (thawed)
• 24 gummy worms (or however many you like)

Optional Add-Ons: Add candy bones, candy pumpkins, or tombstone cookies to level up your graveyard scene.

How to Make Oreo Dirt Cups for Halloween

Seriously, this dessert couldn’t be easier. You don’t need an oven. You don’t need a mixer. Just a bowl, some plastic cups, and 10 minutes.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Crush the cookies:
   • Place Oreos in a large zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin. You want fine crumbs, but a few chunky bits are fine. You can also pulse them in a food processor.
2. Mix the pudding:
   • In a mixing bowl, whisk together cold milk and both boxes of instant chocolate pudding mix. Let it sit for 5 minutes until thickened.
3. Fold in whipped topping:
   • Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the pudding. This makes the texture light and fluffy.
4. Layer the dirt cups:
   • Spoon about 1/3 cup of pudding mixture into each of 8 plastic cups.
   • Add 1 tablespoon of crushed Oreos on top.
   • Repeat layers until the cups are full, finishing with a layer of cookie crumbs.
5. Decorate with gummy worms:
   • Press 2-3 gummy worms into the top of each cup. Let some hang over the edge for that “just crawled out” effect.

Notes:

• For best results, make a few hours in advance and store in the fridge.
• Wait to add gummy worms until right before serving so they stay soft and chewy.

Fun Ways to Customize These Dirt Cups

You can totally personalize your Graveyard Oreo Cookies Dirt Cups. Here are some fun variations:

• Fancy Dirt Cups: Add layers of chocolate ganache or drizzle caramel.
• Dirt Cups for Adults: Mix a little Irish cream or Kahlua into the pudding.
• With Premade Pudding: Save even more time by using snack pack pudding cups.
• Healthier Option: Use sugar-free pudding mix and light whipped topping.

Tips for Perfect Dirt Cups Every Time

• Use full-fat pudding for the richest taste.
• Let the pudding set before layering, or it may get runny.
• Choose clear cups so you can see the fun layers!
• Make them mini for little kids or large if you’re serving adults.

Why These Dirt Cups Are a Halloween Favorite

• No oven needed – major win for busy moms!
• Perfect for parties – they’re portable and portioned.
• Kid-friendly – let the kids help assemble their own cups.
