These easy no-bake Halloween Oreo dirt cups with gummy worms are a fun, kid-friendly treat that comes together in about 15 minutes. Layers of crushed Oreos, creamy chocolate pudding, and gummy worms create a spooky dessert perfect for Halloween parties or a fun family activity.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • 1 package (14.3 oz) Oreo cookies
  • 1 package gummy worms
  • Optional: whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip or homemade whipped cream)
  • Optional: Halloween sprinkles or candy eyes

Instructions

  1. Make the chocolate pudding: In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mix and 2 cups of cold milk. Whisk for about 2 minutes until it starts to thicken. Set aside to set for about 5 minutes.
  2. Crush the Oreos: Place the entire package of Oreos (cream filling and all) into a large Ziploc bag. Seal it, squeeze out the air, and crush with a rolling pin until you have a mix of fine crumbs and some slightly chunkier pieces.
  3. Layer the cups: Start with a layer of Oreo crumbs at the bottom of each cup (about 2 tablespoons). Add a layer of chocolate pudding (about 3 tablespoons). Repeat with another layer of Oreo crumbs. If using whipped topping, add a thin layer between the pudding and the top crumbs.
  4. Add the gummy worms: Before adding the final layer of Oreo crumbs, poke a few gummy worms into the pudding so they stick out at different angles. Sprinkle the top with more Oreo crumbs, leaving the worms peeking out.
  5. Chill: Place the cups in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (overnight is even better).
  6. Decorate and serve: Right before serving, add a few extra gummy worms on top, and optionally add Halloween sprinkles or candy eyes. Serve cold.

Notes

Don’t overmix the pudding. Crush Oreos in stages for varied texture. Use clear cups to show layers. Let kids help with crushing and poking worms. Make a test batch if unsure. Check pudding mix box for milk amount. For best results, add extra gummy worms on top just before serving to keep them chewy.
