Ingredients You'll Need

Chocolate Jello pudding is prepared with milk according to the directions on the box. That pudding is portioned into little plastic cups, filling each one about halfway before the cookie layer is added.

Oreos are crushed into small pieces to create the dirt effect across the top of the pudding. Gummy worms and Halloween candy are the finishing decorations, so each cup can be topped with the candies you want to use.

How To Make It

Start by getting the Oreo dirt ready, then prepare the chocolate pudding according to its package directions. From there, the cups are layered and decorated before serving.

Preparation

Place the Oreos in a sealed bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Keep crushing until the cookies are broken up for the dirt layer.

Cooking

Pro tip: Keep the pudding at about the halfway point in each cup before adding the crushed Oreos. That leaves a clear pudding layer below and space on top for the cookie dirt, gummy worms, and Halloween candy.

Finishing

Add the crushed Oreo pieces to the cups to mimic dirt. Spread the cookie crumbs over the pudding in each cup.

Add gummy worms and whatever other Halloween candy you like. Serve the Sweet Halloween Dirt Cups when the candy decorations are in place.

Serving & Variations

Set out the cups as individual Halloween desserts, with the Oreo layer and candy decorations visible from the top. Gummy worms can sit in the crushed Oreos, while the remaining Halloween candy can be added however you like.

The decoration step is where each cup can look a little different. Use the gummy worms along with your chosen Halloween candy, then serve and enjoy.

Wrapping Up

These Sweet Halloween Dirt Cups keep the process focused on a few familiar ingredients and a simple layered finish. Chocolate pudding, Oreo dirt, gummy worms, and Halloween candy make the finished cups ready for a Halloween table. Recipe created by cookingwithcj for Trust Me Try It.
