Halloween Dirt Cups

Ingredients

4 oz Instant Chocolate Pudding
8 oz Brownie mix (store-bought)
Ingredients to make brownies according to mix
4 oz Whipped topping (cool whip) thawed
Oreo cookies, crushed (I used 12 per glass)
Halloween toppers

Supplies Used:

8 x 8 pan
Rolling pin (to mash the oreos)
Plastic storage bag to put the oreo cookies in while smashing
Large mixing bowl
3” cookie cutter to cut brownies to fit into the glasses I used
Shovel Spoons – Amazon

Time to Complete

Prep time: 10 minutes

Baking time: 30 minutes (depending on time for brownies)

Total time: 40-50 minutes

Servings: 9 brownies if made in an 8 x 8 pan. You will have enough to make four brownie desserts as I did in the photos.

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven according to the directions on the box of brownie mix.

Step 2: Prepare the brownies according to the directions or use your own favorite brownie mix.

Step 3: Lightly spray a 8 x 8” pan with your favorite non-stick cooking spray.

Step 4: Pour the brownie batter into the pan and bake according to the instructions.

Step 5: While the brownies are baking, make the crushed Oreos.

Step 6: Place the Oreos (filling included) inside of a plastic zippered bag and roll over them with a rolling pin or mallet until they are finely crushed. You can also use a food processor.

Step 7: Make the instant pudding according to the directions on the box and let it set up according to the instructions on the box.

Step 8: Once the pudding has set, add in the cool whip, gently fold it in and place it into the fridge.

Step 9: Once the brownies are done, let them cool.

Step 10: Once the brownies have cooled, cut them with the cookie cutter that matches the inside of the glass you are using. Place the cut brownie into the bottom of the glass.

Step 11: Next, layer the pudding, then more Oreos, then more pudding, then more Oreos if you’d like. Then top with your favorite Halloween directions.

Additional Tips for Success

You can use a homemade recipe for the brownies.
Instead of putting the dessert into glasses, you can put it into fun holiday bowls, or you can leave the brownies in the pan, then top with the pudding, then top with the crushed Oreos then decorate!
You can double the filling too – simply use a larger box of pudding and the whole container of cool whip.
