Ingredients You’ll Need
13.29 oz (376 g) package Oreo cookies, crushed
2 cups milk
3.9 oz chocolate instant pudding mix
8 oz Cool Whip, thawed
24 gummy worms
8 Milano cookies
Black icing gel or cookie icing
Candy eyeballs
How To Make Graveyard Dirt Cups
STEP ONE – Place the Oreo cookies into a food processor and pulse until they become fine crumbs. If you don’t have a processor, put the cookies in a sealed bag and crush with a rolling pin.
STEP TWO – In a large bowl, whisk together the milk and chocolate instant pudding mix until smooth. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to thicken.
STEP THREE – Gently fold the thawed Cool Whip into the pudding with a rubber spatula until fully combined and light.
STEP FOUR – Spoon 2 tablespoons of crushed Oreos into the bottom of each 8 oz cup. Add about 3 tablespoons of the pudding mixture on top of the crumbs.
STEP FIVE – Add another layer of crushed Oreos, followed by another layer of pudding. Finish with a final sprinkle of crushed Oreos to resemble dirt.
STEP SIX – Use black icing to write “RIP” on a Milano cookie, or decorate any cookie to resemble a gravestone. Stick the cookie upright into the pudding so it stands like a tombstone. Scatter a few candy eyeballs around and place 2–3 gummy worms on top of each cup.
STEP SEVEN – Chill the cups for at least one hour to let them set and the flavors meld. Serve chilled.
