Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (3.9 oz) box instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups cold whole milk
- 1 (14.3 oz) package Oreo cookies (about 20 cookies)
- 1 cup gummy worms
- Optional decorations: candy bones, ghost Peeps, green colored coconut flakes, small tombstone cookies
Instructions
- Make the pudding: In a large mixing bowl, combine the instant chocolate pudding mix and 2 cups cold milk. Whisk vigorously for about 2 minutes until thickened. Let sit for 5 minutes to fully set.
- Crush the Oreos: Place about 20 Oreos in a large Ziploc bag. Seal and crush with a rolling pin or heavy pan until you have a mix of fine crumbs and small chunks.
- Layer the cups: In clear cups or jars, add a layer of crushed Oreos (about 2 tablespoons per cup) as the base. Spoon or pipe the pudding on top, filling each cup about three-quarters full. Tap gently to settle.
- Add the dirt topping: Sprinkle another generous layer of crushed Oreos (about 3 tablespoons per cup) on top of the pudding to completely cover it.
- Decorate the graveyard: Stick gummy worms into the dirt at different angles. Add optional decorations like candy bones, ghost Peeps, or green coconut flakes.
- Chill and serve: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (1 hour is better) before serving. Serve cold.
Notes
Do not assemble too far in advance (max 4 hours) to prevent soggy Oreo crumbs. Use cold milk for best pudding consistency. For a cleaner look, use a piping bag to add pudding. The flavors improve after a few hours in the fridge.
