Spooky-cute Halloween Graveyard Dirt Cups made with chocolate pudding, Oreo ‘dirt,’ and gummy worms — the easiest no-bake party treat

Ingredients

Scale

1 (14-ounce) package Oreo cookies, crushed into crumbs

2 (3.9-ounce) boxes instant chocolate pudding mix

4 cups cold milk

1 (8-ounce) tub whipped topping (Cool Whip), thawed

8 Milano cookies (or similar oval cookies)

Black gel icing or edible marker (for writing “RIP”)

Gummy worms, candy pumpkins, or candy bones for decoration

Instructions

  • Make the Oreo Dirt: Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and crushing with a rolling pin. Set aside.
  • Prepare the Pudding: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pudding mix and cold milk until smooth and thickened (about 2 minutes).
  • Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold the whipped topping into the pudding mixture until creamy and well combined.
  • Assemble the Cups: In 8 clear cups, layer Oreo crumbs on the bottom, followed by a layer of pudding mixture. Repeat the layers, finishing with Oreo crumbs on top to resemble “dirt.”
  • Make the Tombstones: Write “RIP” or spooky messages on Milano cookies using black gel icing or an edible marker. Insert one cookie into each cup to look like a tombstone.
  • Decorate: Add gummy worms crawling out of the “dirt,” candy pumpkins, or candy bones for an extra creepy effect.
  • Chill and Serve: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the layers to set. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can swap Milano cookies for other cookies of your choice.

  • Customize decorations with seasonal candies for a unique look.

  • For added flavor, mix a pinch of cinnamon or espresso powder into the pudding mixture.

 

  • Perfect for Halloween parties, school events, or themed gatherings.
