These Lighter Halloween Dirt Cups are a fun, easy, and healthier twist on the classic Halloween treat. Made with sugar-free pudding, Greek yogurt, and Oreo ‘dirt,’ they’re creamy, chocolatey, and perfect for parties without the sugar overload.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (1 ounce) sugar-free instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold low-fat milk
  • 1 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 12 Oreo cookies
  • 1215 gummy worms
  • 2 tablespoons dark chocolate shavings (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar-free chocolate pudding mix and 2 cups of cold low-fat milk for about 2 minutes until it starts to thicken. Let it sit for 5 minutes to set up slightly.
  2. Fold in the 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt until completely combined and smooth.
  3. Place the Oreos in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin or the bottom of a skillet into fine crumbs with some slightly larger pieces.
  4. Layer the cups: In 6 clear cups, add about 2-3 tablespoons of the pudding mixture, then a generous layer of Oreo crumbs. Repeat with another layer of pudding and another layer of crumbs, ending with Oreo crumbs on top.
  5. Gently push gummy worms into the top layer of Oreo crumbs, letting a few ‘escape’ over the edge of the cup.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  7. Optional: Sprinkle dark chocolate shavings on top right before serving.

Notes

Use cold milk for the pudding to set properly. Don’t overmix the pudding. Crush Oreos to a coarse sand texture. Layer carefully for distinct layers. Make ahead for best results—these taste even better the next day. For dairy-free, use unsweetened oat milk and dairy-free yogurt. For gluten-free, use gluten-free chocolate sandwich cookies.
