Ingredients
Dirt Cups
- 4 cups milk
- 2 boxes instant chocolate pudding mix 3.4 ounces instant chocolate pudding mix
- 8 ounces whipped topping (like cool whip) Can also use whipped cream. Soften on the counter if frozen.
- 12 chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos) crushed
Toppings
- 16 gummy worms 2-3 gummy worms per cup
- 8 Milano cookies or other long light-colored flat cookie
- ½ cup chocolate chips optional
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil optional
- Bone Shaped Sprinkles optional
Instructions
- Put cold milk and pudding in a large bowl. Mix with a whisk until fully dissolves.
- Place the pudding in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes, or until it begins to thicken and set just a little.
- Fold in softened whipped topping into the chocolate pudding, mixing well.
- Layer the pudding evenly between the cups. Place in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to chill and set further.
- Crush cookies in a food processoar or in a strong zip top bag. If using a bag you can use your hands, a rolling pin or even a heavy canned food item to gently roll over and crush the cookies.
- Place the chocolate and coconut oil in a medium size microwave safe bowl. Melt chocolate and coconut oil in the microwave at half power, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Then add to a small pastry bag or zip-top bag. Cut a small hole in the tip of the bag then use to decorate Milano cookies like gravestones and ghosts. Place the cookies in the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes so the chocolate sets up.
- Sprinkle chocolate cookie crumbs on top of each dirt pie cup evenly. Press the bottom half of the Milano cookie ghosts and gravestones into each cup.
- Add gummy worms and bone sprinkles to decorate, then enjoy!
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Shortening can be used in place of coconut oil in the melted chocolate decorations.
- A gel frosting in a tub can also be used to decorate the ghosts and gravestones. See my tips in the article about other options to buy in your local grocery store.
- A layer of chocolate Oreo crumbs can be added to the bottom of the cup before adding the pudding if you like even more of a layered look.
