Ingredients

Scale

For the Pudding

  • 1 package (3.9 ounces) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk

For the Dirt Cups

  • 15 Oreo cookies, crushed into dirt-like crumbs
  • 1 cup whipped topping (store-bought or homemade)
  • Gummy worms (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Mix the pudding: In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and 2 cups of cold milk until the mixture thickens, about 2 minutes. This will create a smooth, creamy pudding base.
  2. Crush the Oreos: Place Oreo cookies in a ziplock bag and crush them using a rolling pin until they resemble fine dirt-like crumbs. This adds the signature crunchy texture to the dirt cups.
  3. Layer the dirt cups: In serving cups or bowls, start with a layer of crushed Oreos, followed by a layer of prepared pudding, then a layer of whipped topping. Repeat the layers until the cups are filled or ingredients are used up, ending with a top layer of Oreo crumbs.
  4. Top with gummy worms: Decorate each dirt cup with gummy worms for the classic look and added fun. This step is optional but highly recommended.
  5. Chill before serving: Refrigerate the assembled dirt cups for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the pudding to firm up. Alternatively, enjoy immediately if you can’t wait!

Notes

  • For best results, use cold milk to ensure the instant pudding thickens properly.
  • You can make your own whipped topping or use a store-bought variety based on preference.
  • Feel free to add extra crushed Oreos on top for garnish and crunch.
  • Gummy worms are optional but provide a fun and nostalgic touch.
  • These dirt cups can be made a few hours ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator.
