These no-bake Halloween dirt cups layer creamy chocolate pudding, Oreo crumble, and gummy worms for a fun, spooky treat that comes together in under 10 minutes. Perfect for parties, movie nights, or a quick dessert that kids and adults love.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 16–20 Oreo cookies
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • About 24 gummy worms
  • Halloween sprinkles (optional)
  • Whipped cream (optional)

Instructions

  1. Crush the Oreos: Place cookies in a Ziploc bag and crush with a rolling pin into fine crumbs with small chunks. Set aside about 2 tablespoons for topping.
  2. Make the cream cheese layer: In a small bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Prepare the pudding: In a medium bowl, whisk together instant pudding mix and 2 cups cold milk for about 2 minutes until it starts to thicken. Let sit for 5 minutes to set.
  4. Combine the layers: Fold the cream cheese mixture into the pudding until no white streaks remain.
  5. Assemble the cups: Layer about 2 tablespoons Oreo crumbs at the bottom of each cup. Spoon pudding mixture on top, filling each cup about three-quarters full. Tap cups gently to settle.
  6. Add the worms: Gently press 3-4 gummy worms into the pudding, letting some stick out.
  7. Top with crumbs: Sprinkle reserved Oreo crumbs over the top to cover completely.
  8. Chill before serving: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or 15 minutes in the freezer) before serving.

Notes

For best texture, assemble no more than 2 hours before serving. The gummy worms will soften over time. For a dairy-free version, use almond milk and dairy-free cream cheese. For gluten-free, use gluten-free chocolate sandwich cookies. If pudding is too thin, whisk longer or add extra instant pudding mix.
