These Easy Oreo Dirt Cups are a quick, no-bake dessert that comes together in just 15 minutes. Layers of creamy chocolate pudding, crunchy Oreo crumbs, and chewy gummy worms make this a fun and delicious treat that kids and adults love.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (14.3 ounces) Oreo cookies (regular or double stuf)
  • 1 package (3.9 ounces) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk (whole milk preferred, 2% works)
  • 1 container (8 ounces) whipped topping (like Cool Whip, thawed)
  • 1 package (4.5 ounces) gummy worms
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons cream cheese (softened)
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Crush the entire package of Oreos (cream filling included) into fine crumbs using a zip-top bag and rolling pin or a food processor. Set aside about 2 tablespoons for garnish.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and 2 cups cold milk for about 2 minutes until it starts to thicken. If using cream cheese, beat it first until smooth, then add pudding mix and milk. Let sit for 5 minutes to set.
  3. Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the pudding using a spatula until smooth and no streaks remain. If using vanilla extract, stir it in now.
  4. Layer the cups: Start with 1-2 tablespoons of Oreo crumbs at the bottom of each cup. Add a layer of pudding mixture to fill halfway. Add another layer of crumbs, then more pudding, leaving about 1/2 inch at the top. Finish with a final layer of Oreo crumbs.
  5. Press a few gummy worms into the top layer of crumbs so they look like they’re crawling out. Optionally, tuck some into the middle layers.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving for best texture. Serve cold.

Notes

For best texture, let pudding set fully before layering. Add gummy worms just before serving to keep them chewy. Use whole milk for creamiest pudding. Crush Oreos to a coarse sand consistency for realistic ‘dirt’ texture. Can be assembled up to 24 hours in advance (without gummy worms).
