Create these fun and festive dirt pudding cups for your Halloween party. They are easy to make and a guaranteed hit with guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (3.9 ounces) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 3 cups cold milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 package (15.25 ounces) chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos)
  • 12–15 gummy worms

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pudding: Whisk the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk in a bowl until well combined. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
  2. Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  3. Fold in the cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the thickened chocolate pudding until no streaks remain.
  4. Crush the cookies: Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them into coarse crumbs using a rolling pin or the bottom of a heavy glass.
  5. Assemble the cups: Spoon a layer of crushed cookies into the bottom of 6-8 clear plastic cups or small jars.
  6. Add pudding: Top the cookie crumbs with a layer of the chocolate pudding mixture.
  7. Repeat layers: Add another layer of cookie crumbs, followed by another layer of pudding.
  8. Add gummy worms: Stick a gummy worm out of the top of each cup to look like it’s crawling out of the dirt.
  9. Chill: Refrigerate the dirt pudding cups for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a more intense chocolate flavor, use chocolate sandwich cookies with chocolate filling.
  • You can add a few drops of green food coloring to the pudding for a slightly mossy effect.
  • These cups can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
