Dirt Pudding Cups (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Base Ingredients

01 - 2 packages Oreo cookies (approx. 14.3oz each)
02 - 3.9 oz package instant chocolate pudding mix
03 - 2 cups cold milk
04 - 8 oz Cool Whip, thawed (1 container)
05 - 1/2 cup chocolate sprinkles

→ Decorative Toppings

06 - Halloween cookies
07 - Gummy worms
08 - M&M's
09 - Candy corn

# Instructions:

01 - Crush the Oreo cookies in a food processor or by placing them in a plastic bag and crushing them with a rolling pin until they are finely ground.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until smooth. Refrigerate for 5-10 minutes.
03 - Fold in the Cool Whip to the pudding mixture until well combined.
04 - To assemble the Dirt Pudding Cups, spoon a layer of the crushed Oreo cookies into the bottom of each cup, followed by a layer of the pudding mixture. Spoon another layer of Oreo cookies and another layer of the pudding mixture.
05 - Top each cup with a generous sprinkle of the chocolate sprinkles to create a "dirt" layer.
06 - Press two candy eyes onto each cookie, using a small amount of frosting or melted chocolate to hold them in place. You can use any toppings and candies you prefer.
07 - Gently press the monster cookies and a few additional gummy worms into the top of the pudding cups, so that they are partially buried in the "dirt."
08 - Refrigerate the Dirt Pudding Cups for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the pudding to set.

# Notes:

01 - For best results, prepare these fun treats at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld.
02 - Can be made up to 24 hours in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator.
