Spooky Graveyard Dirt Cups - Fun & Easy Cake Dessert Recipe for Halloween Party
Spooky Graveyard Dirt Cups are here to haunt your dessert table—in the sweetest way possible. Imagine the classic Dirt Cups Dessert you grew up with, but dressed up for the spooky season, complete with cookie “tombstones,” candy bones, and chocolatey “dirt” so real you’ll wonder if you should plant something in it. Spoiler: don’t. Just eat it.
These Halloween Graveyard Dirt Cups are basically the goth cousin of your childhood pudding cups—cute, festive, and ridiculously easy to make. You only need a few ingredients, some creativity, and a willingness to get a little messy. The result? Halloween Pudding Graveyard Cups that look like you spent hours crafting them (FYI—you didn’t).
No food processor? No problem. Toss those Oreos in a zip-top bag and go to town with a rolling pin or mallet until you’ve got fine crumbs. Instant Dirt Dessert perfection. Making these for a crowd? Double the recipe and you’re party-ready—ideal for school events, potlucks, or your epic Halloween bash.
The best part? Decorating. This is where you can get weird—we’re talking gummy worms, candy bones, ghost-shaped marshmallows, even tiny “monster” figures if you’re feeling extra. Just let everyone know the mini monsters are for show, not snacks.
If you’re not a fan of store-bought whipped topping, swap in your own homemade sweetened whipped cream. It’s an easy upgrade that’ll make your Halloween Dirt Pudding taste even richer. And let’s be honest—there’s no such thing as too much whipped cream when it comes to Dirt Pudding Recipes.

Spooky Graveyard Dirt Cups - Fun & Easy Cake Dessert Recipe for Halloween Party
Ingredients
For the dirt cups:- 19.1 oz family-size Oreo cookies
- 2 cups very cold whole milk
- 3.9 oz instant chocolate pudding mix (1 package)
- 8 oz thawed whipped topping
- ½ cup chocolate syrup, divided
- Milano cookies (for tombstones)
- Black cookie icing
- Ghost-shaped Peeps
- Gummy worms
- Mini pumpkin candies
- Halloween-themed sprinkles
Instructions
- Crush the cookies: Place Oreos in a food processor and pulse until they turn into fine crumbs. Set aside. (No processor? Toss cookies in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin.)
- Prepare the pudding: In a large bowl, whisk the cold milk and chocolate pudding mix for about 2 minutes until it thickens. Gently fold in the whipped topping until smooth.
- Add chocolate syrup streaks: Stir in ¼ cup of the chocolate syrup lightly—don’t overmix; you want those delicious streaks. Chill until ready to assemble.
- Layer the cups: Arrange nine 8-ounce cups. Start with 2 tablespoons of Oreo crumbs in each cup. Spoon 3–4 tablespoons of the pudding mixture over the crumbs. Repeat layers as needed. Top with an extra tablespoon of Oreo crumbs.
- Make the “mud”: Combine the remaining cookie crumbs with the last ¼ cup of chocolate syrup. Stir until shiny and clumpy. Set aside.
- Decorate the graveyard: Use black icing to write on Milano cookies and create tombstones. Press ghost Peeps into the pudding so they stand upright. Add tombstones, pumpkin candies, gummy worms, and Halloween sprinkles to create a spooky scene.
- Add the finishing touch: Sprinkle the chocolate “mud” over the top to mimic freshly dug graves.
- Serve: Chill until ready or enjoy immediately for maximum creep factor!
