Get Spooky with Graveyard Dirt Cups

Ingredients:

  • 1 package chocolate pudding mix (instant or cook-and-serve)

  • 2 cups milk (or as directed on pudding mix)

  • 1 package chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos)

  • Gummy worms

  • Optional: mini tombstone cookies or candy letters to make “RIP”

Instructions:

  1. Make pudding: Prepare the chocolate pudding according to package instructions. Let it set slightly.

  2. Crush cookies: Put the chocolate sandwich cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin until they look like dirt.

  3. Assemble cups: In a clear cup or small jar, layer pudding first, then a generous layer of “dirt” (crushed cookies). Repeat if desired for extra layers.

  4. Decorate: Stick gummy worms partially into the dirt. Add mini tombstones or make “RIP” with candy letters.

  5. Serve: Chill for a bit, then serve your spooky graveyard cups!

???? Tip: You can even add edible eyes or candy skeleton hands sticking out for an extra creepy effect.
