Description
A simple, layered dessert resembling a pumpkin patch, made with chocolate pudding and crushed cookies.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 container (12 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed
- 1 package (14.3 oz) chocolate sandwich cookies
- 1/2 cup gummy worms (optional)
- Small candy pumpkins (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the chocolate pudding according to package directions using the cold milk. Let it set for 5 minutes.
- Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the prepared pudding until combined.
- Place the chocolate sandwich cookies into a large zip-top bag. Crush the cookies using a rolling pin until they resemble dirt.
- In clear cups or small jars, layer the ingredients. Start with a layer of crushed cookies, followed by a layer of the pudding mixture. Repeat the layers.
- If using, press a few gummy worms into the pudding layer so they look like they are coming out of the dirt.
- Top the cups with a few candy pumpkins.
- Chill the dirt cups for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Use vanilla pudding and add orange food coloring for a different colored ‘dirt’ base.
- You can substitute crushed chocolate wafers for the sandwich cookies.
