Halloween Graveyard Dirt Cups are the ultimate combination of creepy and cute. With layers of chocolate pudding, crushed Oreo “dirt,” and gummy worms crawling out of the top, they’re a dessert that doubles as a spooky decoration. These individual treats are festive, fun, and guaranteed to be a hit at Halloween parties with kids and adults alike.
The creamy pudding filling is lightened with whipped topping, giving each bite a silky, mousse-like texture. The crushed Oreos mimic freshly turned soil, while Milano cookies make the perfect edible tombstones once decorated with “RIP” messages. Add gummy worms, candy pumpkins, or candy bones, and suddenly your dessert cups transform into a haunted mini graveyard.
What’s especially great about this recipe is how easy it is to assemble. With no baking required, you can make a batch quickly and even let kids help decorate their own. They’re also customizable — swap in different candies or toppings to match your spooky vision.
