Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (3.9 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 3 cups milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract (optional)
  • 20 Oreo cookies, crushed
  • 10 Milano cookies or graham crackers, for tombstones
  • Candy pumpkins, candy corn, gummy worms, or other Halloween candies
  • Pudding cups or small serving cups

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chocolate pudding according to package directions, using 3 cups of milk. Let it set in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes.
  2. While the pudding sets, whip the heavy cream with vanilla extract and peppermint extract (if using) until stiff peaks form.
  3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the prepared chocolate pudding until just combined. This creates a lighter, mousse-like texture for your spooky graveyard dirt cups.
  4. Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs to resemble dirt.
  5. Assemble your Halloween graveyard dirt cups. Spoon a layer of the chocolate pudding mixture into the bottom of each pudding cup.
  6. Add a layer of crushed Oreo cookie crumbs over the pudding.
  7. Repeat layers until the cups are filled, ending with a layer of cookie crumbs on top.
  8. Decorate your edible graveyard dirt cups. Insert a Milano cookie or graham cracker into each cup to serve as a tombstone.
  9. Add candy pumpkins, candy corn, gummy worms, or other Halloween candies to create a spooky graveyard scene on top of your dirt cup recipe graveyard theme.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use chocolate milk instead of regular milk for the pudding.
  • Chill the dirt cups for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
  • Get creative with your tombstone decorations; you can write names on them with edible marker.
  • Consider adding a layer of chocolate chips or mini chocolate candies for extra texture.
