Graveyard Dirt Cups
Graveyard Dirt Cups are a fun and spooky treat perfect for Halloween gatherings at campgrounds or any spooky-themed gathering. Here’s a simple recipe to make these eerie and delicious dessert cups:
Ingredients:
- For the Pudding:
- 1 (3.9 oz) package of instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- For the Topping:
- 1 (8 oz) container whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
- 1 cup crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos)
- Gummy worms
- Candy tombstones (optional, you can make these from graham crackers or use pre-made candy decorations)
- Green sugar or sprinkles (optional, for added “grass”)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Pudding:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until thickened, about 2 minutes.
- Let the pudding sit for about 5 minutes to set.
- Mix in Whipped Topping:
- Gently fold the whipped topping into the pudding until well combined. This will make the pudding creamy and light.
- Assemble the Dirt Cups:
- Spoon the pudding mixture into individual cups or bowls.
- Sprinkle a layer of crushed chocolate cookies on top of the pudding to create the “dirt” layer.
- Add Toppings:
- Place gummy worms on top of the crushed cookies, letting some of them “crawl” out of the dirt for a spooky effect.
- If using candy tombstones or other decorations, place them into the “dirt” layer.
- Optional:
- For extra spooky “grass,” sprinkle some green sugar or sprinkles over the top.
- Serve:
- Chill the cups in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Tips:
- Decorate: You can get creative with decorations. Use small candy decorations or make tombstones from graham crackers and edible markers.
- Make Ahead: These can be prepared a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve.
