These Halloween Dirt Cups are a frightfully fun treat! Layers of rich chocolate pudding, crumbly Oreo "dirt," and cookie headstones make these the perfect spooky dessert for your Halloween night!

Ingredients
- 2 (19 ounce) family size packages of Oreos
- 4 cups milk
- 2 (3 ounce) packages instant chocolate pudding mix
- 16 ounces frozen whipped topping thawed
- 1 cup chocolate syrup divided
- Milano cookies, black decorator icing, ghost Peeps, pumpkin candies, Halloween sprinkles for decorating
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add the pudding mix and 4 cups of milk. Beat with a whisk for 2-3 minutes and then let it stand for 5 minutes. Fold in the whipped topping.
- Add ½ cup of the chocolate syrup to the pudding mixture. Stir a few times until it is streaky. Cover and chill in the fridge until ready to assemble.
- Add the Oreo cookies to a food processor or blender. Blend the cookies until they are reduced to a dirt-like consistency. You will need to do this step in batches. Place the crumbs into a large bowl.
- In your dessert cups (about 9 ounces in size), add a small layer of the Oreo cookie dirt (about 2 tablespoons). Next, add a layer of the pudding (about 1/4 cup.) Follow that with the Oreo cookie dirt again and another layer of pudding. Finally, add 1 Tablespoon of the Oreo cookie dirt on top.
- Add the remaining ½ cup of chocolate syrup to the remaining cookie crumbs and stir together. This will be clumpy and moist looking. Set aside.
- Decorate the Milano cookies with black icing to say “RIP" and add them to some of the cups. Add peep ghosts to some of the cups.
- Take the clumpy cookie crumbs and add this to the tops of the cups to resemble freshly dug graves! Add the mini pumpkin candies and Halloween sprinkles. Serve immediately or refrigerate until it is time to serve.
Notes
- What size cups to use: I used disposable, plastic 9 ounce cups. You can also use small mason jars or other similarly sized cups.
- Prepare up to 1 day in advance. You can make these dirt cups up to one day in advance and store in the refrigerator. I don’t recommend making them any sooner than that as the Oreo layers can soften up too much and get soggy. Also, don't add the cookie or candy toppings until right before you are ready to serve for this same reason.
- Storing leftovers. Any leftover Halloween Dirt Cake Cups can be stored in the fridge covered with plastic wrap. As I mentioned, the Oreo layers will soften over time. You can always add a fresh layer of crushed Oreos to the top when ready to serve again, though.
