Description

Spooky Halloween Dirt Cups bring creepy cookie crumbles and chocolate pudding together in a ghoulish dessert perfect for seasonal celebrations. Chocolate crumbs, gummy worms, and pudding layers create a playful treat you’ll love serving at any haunting Halloween party.


Ingredients

Scale

Pudding and Cream Base:

  • 2 cups chocolate pudding (prepared)
  • 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)

Cookies and Crumble:

  • 1 1/2 cups crushed Oreo cookies

Garnish and Decorations:

  • 1 cup gummy worms
  • 1/2 cup candy corn (optional)

Instructions

  1. Craft a smooth, velvety chocolate pudding following package guidelines, then refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
  2. Tenderly incorporate whipped topping into the pudding, creating a luxurious, airy texture with gentle folding motions.
  3. Distribute the initial pudding layer evenly across individual serving vessels, ensuring a consistent base.
  4. Generously shower a stratum of finely pulverized chocolate sandwich cookies atop the pudding, creating a crumbly landscape.
  5. Construct subsequent pudding layer, carefully blanketing the cookie crumbs with creamy chocolate mixture.
  6. Crown each dessert with additional cookie fragments, mimicking a rough, uneven terrain.
  7. Strategically position gummy worms across the surface, allowing them to peek through the cookie landscape.
  8. Optional: Scatter candy corn for an extra festive Halloween-themed presentation.
  9. Refrigerate for minimum 30 minutes at 40°F, permitting layers to solidify and flavors to meld together.
  10. Serve chilled, presenting a whimsical, spooky treat perfect for Halloween celebrations.

Notes

  • Choose high-quality chocolate pudding mix for richer, more intense flavor.
  • Crush Oreo cookies finely to create a more authentic “dirt” texture and appearance.
  • Try dairy-free pudding and whipped topping for a vegan-friendly version.
  • Use silicone cups or clear glasses to showcase the layered “dirt” and “worm” design.
