Watch the kids eat worms in “dirt” with these creepy creature-topped chocolate filled no bake cookie cups! My four-year-old couldn’t get enough of these worms in dirt cups and she keeps asking me to make more, and because Halloween is on the horizon, I felt that these were suitable for this time of year. I won't be making these again for awhile, but they're very delicious and stacked high with creamy chocolate—literally, as you can see! I’m a huge chocolate lover and as such, these are one of my favorite snacks. If you like Oreo recipes, you'll love my Oreo Monster Eyeball Pops, Oreo Turkeys, and Oreo Truffles.
These are great for Halloween classroom or homeschool parties as you can bring pudding cups in and let the kids top them with crumbled Oreos and gummy worms, making both a sensory and fine motor educational activity that they’ll totally love! There aren’t too many kids who will be able to resist a gooey dirt cup, complete with gummy worms!
To make this easy dessert, you’ll need milk, chocolate fudge instant pudding, frozen whipped topping, clear plastic cups, Oreo cookies, and gummy worms, and about 10 minutes of your time!
