Description

Halloween Graveyard Dirt Cups are a fun, no-bake dessert featuring layers of Oreo cookie crumbs, creamy chocolate pudding, and spooky decorations like gummy worms and cookie tombstones. Perfect for parties, these festive treats are easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 Oreo cookies (about 250g), crushed into fine crumbs
  • 2 packages (3.9 oz each) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 4 cups cold milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 cup gummy worms
  • 6–8 Milano cookies or graham crackers (for tombstones)
  • 1/2 cup candy pumpkins (optional)
  • 1–2 tubes edible gel pens or black icing
  • Sprinkles (black, orange, or green, optional)
  • 1 tub (8 oz) whipped topping
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place Oreo cookies in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin or pulse in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk for 2 minutes until thickened. Let sit for 5 minutes to set.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat whipped topping with softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy (optional for tangy layer).
  4. Spoon 2 tablespoons of Oreo crumbs into the bottom of each serving cup. Add 1/3 cup chocolate pudding. Top with 2 tablespoons whipped topping mixture. Repeat layers if cups are tall, ending with Oreo crumbs on top.
  5. Decorate each cup with cookie tombstones (write ‘RIP’ or spooky messages with edible gel), gummy worms, candy pumpkins, and sprinkles as desired.
  6. Refrigerate dirt cups for at least 30 minutes to set layers and meld flavors.
  7. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

Crush cookies just before assembling for best crunch. Chill cups before decorating to keep toppings crisp. For gluten-free or dairy-free options, substitute ingredients as needed. Assemble cups the night before and add decorations just before serving for best texture.
