I don’t think I have ever met anyone that doesn’t like Oreo Dirt Cups. They are really good! I know the word “dirt” doesn’t sound appetizing but think about what they really are. 🙂 Crushed oreo cookies. Cool Whip. Chocolate pudding. Oh, and gummy worms! Come on! Put all those together and my goodness, you have found the perfect dessert.

Don’t those cups look creepy? I swear I didn’t make them that way intentionally. I noticed after I took the picture that they looked like two creepy faces staring at me.

I’ve been making these dirt cups for years, actually. I don’t make them that often so they are still special and well loved when I do. I decided to make these this year for a family Halloween party.

You can also make these as one large dessert, too. What you do is take a clean and washed terracota pot and line the inside with foil. Keep the foil about an inch or two from the top. Then, double or triple this recipe depending on the size of the pot. Layer the ingredients in the pot just as you would with the individual cups. The only difference is that you place some gummy worms throughout the layers so it’s like real worms in the dirt. Be sure to layer the pudding a little higher than the foil to hide it. That’s it. You could even put some individual fake flowers in it to make it look even more like real dirt. It will definitely be the conversation piece at your next get together.

So, next time you have to bring a dish to an event or maybe just for the holidays, give these a try. They are easy to make, not expensive at all, and will definitely be a hit.

Have you made these before? If so, how do you make yours?
