These no-bake Halloween Oreo Dirt Cups with Gummy Worms come together in just 5 minutes. Layers of creamy chocolate pudding, crushed Oreo ‘dirt,’ and wiggly gummy worms make a fun, crowd-pleasing treat that kids love to help make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold whole milk
  • 1 family-size package (about 20 cookies) Oreo cookies
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (optional)
  • 1 bag gummy worms (about 20–24 worms)
  • Halloween sprinkles, candy eyeballs, or crushed candy corn (optional)

Instructions

  1. Crush the Oreos: Place Oreos in a large zip-top bag, seal, and crush with a rolling pin until you have a mix of fine crumbs and small pebbles. Set aside 2 tablespoons of fine crumbs for the top.
  2. Make the pudding: In a medium bowl, whisk together pudding mix and milk for about 2 minutes until thickened. Let rest for 5 minutes to fully set.
  3. Layer the cups: Spoon about 2 tablespoons of crushed Oreos into the bottom of each cup. Press down lightly. Add a layer of pudding, filling each cup about halfway.
  4. Add the worms: Press 2-3 gummy worms into the pudding layer so they stand up, with the top halves sticking out.
  5. Top with more dirt: Spoon another layer of crushed Oreos over the pudding, covering the worms’ bodies but leaving their heads exposed. Sprinkle reserved fine crumbs on top. Add candy eyeballs or sprinkles if desired.
  6. Chill and serve: Serve immediately or refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. For best texture, refrigerate for 4-6 hours or up to 24 hours.

Notes

For best texture, use whole milk and let it come to room temperature for 10 minutes before mixing. If pudding doesn’t thicken, add an extra tablespoon of mix. Store worms separately if making more than 6 hours ahead to prevent them from hardening. These cups can be assembled up to 24 hours in advance.
