Ah, dirt cups – the timeless childhood treat that never loses its charm. There's something inexplicably delightful about the combination of flavors and textures in these little cups of joy. The best part? There's no age limit on who can enjoy this whimsical dessert! I'll admit, I've had my fair share of this treat, and I have no regrets. It's hard to argue that these classic dirt cups are as irresistible as ever. To make them gluten free, I use gluten free versions of all of these ingredients; it's also super simple to make it dairy free, too!

INGREDIENTS

Serves: 8

Ingredients

2 cups Milk, amount varies, based on pudding instructions
8 oz Cool Whip, or any whipped topping

Process

Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Prepare the chocolate pudding mix according to package instructions, typically by whisk whisking together the chocolate instant pudding mix and cold milk until smooth.
Allow the pudding to set and thicken as per the package instructions, usually for about 5 minutes in the refrigerator. *If your instructions vary, make the pudding as the package indicates.
Once the pudding has set, gently fold in whipped topping until well combined. This will create a light and creamy chocolate mousse-like mixture.
Sprinkle approximately 1 cup of the crushed oreo cookies into the chocolate pudding mixture. Reserve the remaining 1/2 cup of crushed oreos for later.
Carefully fold the crushed oreos into the chocolate pudding mixture until evenly distributed to achieve a cookie crunch in your pudding.
Using a spoon, portion out the Oreo dirt pudding into individual dessert cups or glasses, filling each about halfway.
Sprinkle a generous layer of the reserved crushed oreos on top of each pudding-filled cup, creating a "dirt" layer.
Finish off by garnishing each cup with a few gummy worms, poking them into the "dirt."
Refrigerate the pudding cups for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to chill.
Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

While the classic choice for dirt cups is chocolate pudding, feel free to switch it up with vanilla pudding if that's more your style. This dish can easily be prepared gluten free by selecting all gluten free ingredients - just be sure to read all labels! To create a dairy free version, choose dairy free instant pudding mix, dairy free milk, and dairy free whipped topping.
