halloween dirt cups - featured image

Quick and easy Halloween dirt cups made with Oreos, chocolate pudding, and gummy worms. A no-bake dessert that’s perfect for parties and school treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (14.3-ounce) package Oreo cookies
  • 1 (3.9-ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • 1 (8-ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed (like Cool Whip)
  • 1 (5-ounce) bag gummy worms
  • Optional: extra crushed Oreos for topping, green-tinted shredded coconut, plastic spiders

Instructions

  1. Crush the Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor or a zip-top bag and rolling pin. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes until thickened.
  3. Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the pudding until no white streaks remain.
  4. Place a generous tablespoon of Oreo crumbs at the bottom of each clear cup.
  5. Spoon or pipe the pudding mixture over the crumbs, filling each cup halfway. Push a few gummy worms into the pudding so they partially stick out.
  6. Add another layer of pudding mixture almost to the top, then sprinkle a generous layer of Oreo crumbs over the top.
  7. Garnish with a final gummy worm on top. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use regular Oreos, not Double Stuf, for the best ‘dirt’ texture. Milk must be ice cold for pudding to set. Chilling for at least 30 minutes is essential for perfect texture. Can be made up to 24 hours in advance.
