Dirt Cup Ingredients

Chocolate milk
Package of instant chocolate pudding
Oreo cookies, crushed
White chocolate bark, chips, or melts
Plastic bones chocolate mold (mine came from Michael’s for only $1.99)
Cookies and cream mini candy bars
Candy pumpkins

Make the Graveyard Pudding

To make the double chocolate pudding, I used chocolate milk with the instant chocolate pudding instead of regular milk.

The more chocolate the better, right?

Follow the directions on the back of the pudding box to know how much chocolate milk to use to replace the regular milk.

Feel free to just use regular milk instead.

Mix and refrigerate in a medium-sized bowl according to the directions.

Create the Cookie “Dirt”

Next, we will need some chocolate “dirt” for our Halloween dirt cups.

Place some chocolate cookies with cream filling in a ziplock bag, then remove the air as much as possible.

Crush the cookies into crumbs with a rolling pin.

Make the Chocolate Bones

Melt the white chocolate chips, bark, or melts according to the directions on the back of the package.

Spoon the melted white chocolate into the bone molds, then gently tap the mold onto the countertop to remove any air bubbles.

Refrigerate or place in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes to speed up the hardening process (if you’re impatient like me), then remove.

Turn the mold upside down and tap on the mold to release the chocolate bones.

Aren’t they cool?

This is the same technique I used to create these chocolate Halloween suckers!

Cut the Chocolate Headstones

I used mini cookies and cream chocolate candy bars to create the graveyard pudding headstones so that they would look like marble.

I created the rounded top with a butter knife, then rubbed off the company logo so the headstone was smooth.

Assemble the Halloween Dirt Cups

To assemble these Halloween dirt cake cups, I filled clear plastic cups with the double chocolate pudding.

Next I added the crushed cookie crumbs “dirt” to the top.

Now decorate your Halloween dirt cups by adding the headstone, the bones, and a candy pumpkin or two to each cup.

Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

Yum!
