How cute are these Halloween Dirt Cups?! The grey layer has a secret ingredient that makes these taste BEYOND amazing!
If you know me at all you know I love making themed food! I love any excuse for a celebration, and my favorite way to celebrate is with food! I made these adorable little dirt cups for Halloween and my kids were OBSESSED with them to say the least!

Dirt Cups
They totally don’t have to be Halloween specific though! My kids are happy to eat oreo dirt cups year round, and they can easily be made without the cute little pumpkins if they are not in season by subbing for gummy bugs or just omitting altogether!
What are dirt cups?
Most people think of dirt cups as pudding layered cookie crumbs and gummy worms. While those are yummy in and of itself, these kicked up Halloween dirt cups definitely take things to the next level!
The grey layer is pure HEAVEN, and everywhere I take them people beg me for the recipe because they are just that much better than the regular variety.
The kids had so much fun helping me come up with names and dates to put on the adorable little tombstone cookies! Of course those are totally optional too though, and can be left off if you want to make this recipe even quicker.
You ready for the fun and easy recipe?
