Easy no-bake Halloween dirt cups with chocolate pudding, crushed Oreos, and gummy worms.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping, thawed
  • 24 Oreo cookies, finely crushed
  • 24 Milano cookies
  • 24 gummy worms

Instructions

  1. Whisk pudding mix and milk in a bowl until smooth. Let stand for 5 minutes to thicken.
  2. Gently fold whipped topping into the pudding mixture.
  3. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of pudding mixture into the bottom of 6-ounce clear plastic cups.
  4. Top with 2 tablespoons of crushed Oreos.
  5. Repeat layers, ending with crushed Oreos.
  6. Insert one Milano cookie into the side of each cup to resemble a tombstone.
  7. Add one gummy worm to each cup, letting it crawl out of the dirt.
  8. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a make-ahead option, assemble the cups up to the pudding and Oreo layers. Add the Milano cookies and gummy worms just before serving to prevent them from getting soggy.
  • If you don’t have Cool Whip, you can use an equal amount of homemade whipped cream. Beat 1 cup of heavy cream with 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  • For a healthier version, use sugar-free pudding mix and low-fat whipped topping. You can also substitute some of the Oreos with crushed graham crackers.
  • Other topping ideas include candy pumpkins, candy ghosts, or chocolate sprinkles.
