Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (3.4 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups milk
- 1 (15.25 ounce) package chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos)
- 1/4 cup chocolate frosting (optional, for decorating tombstones)
- Edible black marker or black decorating gel (optional)
- Gummy worms
- Milano cookies or rectangular cookies (for tombstones)
Instructions
- Prepare the chocolate pudding according to package directions. Let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until set.
- While the pudding chills, crush the Oreo cookies in a zip-top bag using a rolling pin or in a food processor until they resemble dirt.
- Once the pudding is set, spoon a layer of chocolate pudding into the bottom of individual serving cups or small glasses.
- Top the pudding with a layer of crushed Oreo cookies.
- Repeat the layers of pudding and cookie crumbs until the cups are nearly full, ending with a layer of cookie crumbs.
- Insert a Milano cookie or a rectangular cookie into the side of each cup to serve as a tombstone.
- Decorate the tombstone with edible black marker or frosting to write epitaphs if desired.
- Add a few gummy worms peeking out from the ‘dirt’ for a creepy touch.
- Chill the dirt cups for at least another 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For an extra spooky effect, you can add candy pumpkins or candy ghosts to the dirt cups.
- If you don’t have Milano cookies, graham crackers or wafer cookies can also work as tombstones.
- Feel free to use different flavors of pudding, such as vanilla or butterscotch, for a different look and taste.
- These can be assembled a few hours in advance and kept chilled. Add the tombstones and gummy worms just before serving to prevent them from getting soggy.
