Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 boxes (3.9 oz each) chocolate pudding mix
- 4 cups milk
- 15 pieces chocolate sandwich cookies (e.g., Oreo)
- 12 pieces gummy worms
- 6 pieces (8 oz each) plastic cups
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chocolate pudding mix and milk. Whisk until smooth and thickened, about 2-3 minutes. Set aside to allow it to fully set.
Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a resealable plastic bag. Use a rolling pin to crush the cookies into fine crumbs. You can leave a few larger chunks for texture, if desired.
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of crushed cookie crumbs into the bottom of each plastic cup to create the first 'dirt' layer.
Divide the pudding evenly among the cups, layering it on top of the crushed cookies.
Add another 2-3 tablespoons of cookie crumbs on top of the pudding in each cup to create the final 'dirt' layer.
Decorate each cup by placing 2 gummy worms on top, positioning them as if they're popping out of the 'dirt'.
Refrigerate the dirt cups for at least 30 minutes to chill before serving.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
