These no-bake dirt cups are the ultimate Halloween treat: layers of creamy chocolate pudding and crushed Oreo ‘dirt’ with gummy worms peeking out. Quick to assemble and guaranteed to be a hit at any spooky gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (3.9-ounce) package Instant Chocolate Pudding Mix
  • 2 cups Cold Whole Milk
  • 1 (14.3-ounce) package Regular Oreo Cookies (about 36 cookies)
  • 1 (4.25-ounce) package Gummy Worms
  • 8 (5-ounce) Clear Plastic Cups
  • Optional: Green Decorating Gel
  • Optional: Gummy or Plastic Spiders

Instructions

  1. Crush the Oreos: Place all 36 Oreos (filling and all) into a food processor. Pulse until you have fine, dark crumbs that look like potting soil. Set aside.
  2. Make the Pudding: In a large mixing bowl, pour the 2 cups of cold milk. Whisk in the instant chocolate pudding mix. Whisk vigorously for 2 full minutes. Let it sit for 5 minutes to fully set.
  3. Prepare the Cups: Take your 8 clear cups. Start with a generous tablespoon of Oreo crumbs in the bottom of each cup. Press it down lightly with the back of a spoon.
  4. First Pudding Layer: Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the prepared pudding over the Oreo layer in each cup. Spread evenly.
  5. Add the Worms: Take a few gummy worms and poke them into the pudding layer, making sure one end is sticking up.
  6. Second Pudding Layer: Divide the remaining pudding evenly among the 8 cups, spooning it over the worms. Smooth the top.
  7. Top with ‘Dirt’: Sprinkle a generous layer of the remaining Oreo crumbs over the top of each cup, completely covering the pudding.
  8. Decorate and Chill: Place a few more gummy worms on top. If desired, add green decorating gel for grass tufts. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

For best results, use whole milk and whisk the pudding for a full 2 minutes. These can be made up to 2 days in advance and taste even better the next day. Do not freeze.
