Spooky Graveyard Dirt Cups

Servings: 6 cups
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

• 2 cups cold milk

• 1 box (3.9 oz) chocolate instant pudding mix

• 8 oz whipped topping (thawed)

• 15 chocolate sandwich cookies (crushed into “dirt”)

• 6 Milano or oval-shaped cookies (for tombstones)

• Edible gel icing (black or dark brown, for writing)

• Gummy worms, candy bones, or candy pumpkins for decoration

Instructions:

1. Make the pudding: In a medium bowl, whisk cold milk and pudding mix until thickened (about 2 minutes).

2. Fold in the whipped topping: Gently stir until well combined and fluffy.

3. Layer the cups:

   • Spoon a layer of pudding into the bottom of each clear cup.

   • Add a layer of crushed cookies (“dirt”).

   • Repeat until the cups are almost full, finishing with a “dirt” layer on top.

4. Create tombstones: Use edible gel to write spooky phrases like “RIP,” “BOO,” or “HELP!” on the Milano cookies. Insert one into each cup as the tombstone.

5. Add creepy crawlies: Place gummy worms, candy bones, or pumpkins on top for extra Halloween flair.

Pro Tip:

Serve chilled, and for a glow-in-the-dark effect, place cups on a tray lined with a blacklight string to make the whites of the tombstones pop!
