Make Graveyard Dirt
Step 1
Take five Oreos and twist to separate so you have just creme filling and a cookie on one. Set these 5 cookies aside to use for later.
Step 2
In a gallon size freezer bag using a rolling pin, crush the Oreos medium fine. It’s ok if there are a few medium broken pieces.
Step 3
Transfer to a bowl and set aside.

Halloween Dirt Cups Notes
- If your child has a peanut allergy you can swap out the Reeses for gummy worms.
- Mix it up! Add cool whip at the bottom of each cup, then a layer of pudding for a fun twist.
- Don’t like Oreos? Dip Milano cookies in melted chocolate chips and use them as tomb stones instead of the half of the Oreo. You can also use chocolate graham cracker crumbs instead of Oreo crumbs too.
- Not a fan of chocolate pudding. Use vanilla pudding instead, the fine crumbs of the crushed Oreos will still look like dirt. So you can still make the Halloween graveyard dirt cups.
