Equipment

12 9 ounce plastic cups

Ingredients

Brownie Layer:

16 ounces boxed brownie mix + ingredients to make brownies (Note 1)

Pudding Layer:

5.9 ounces instant chocolate pudding mix big box (Note 2)
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups heavy whipping cream (Note 3)
½ cup milk (Note 4)

Dirt Layer:

12 ounces Oreos (Note 5)
8 ounces gummy worms not sour
16 ounces candy rocks

Instructions

Bake the brownies according to the package instructions. Cool for 15 minutes, then use a fork to crumble the brownies. Spread the crumbs on a baking sheet and refrigerate until completely cool.
While the brownies cool, prepare the pudding layer. In a large bowl, add the pudding mix, cocoa powder, heavy cream, and milk. Whip until light and fluffy.
Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or a zip-top bag. A food processor creates an even crumb, or crush the cookies in a zip-top bag.
Place plastic cups or small mason jars on a baking sheet. Add a layer of cooled brownie crumbs to the bottom of each cup (¼ cup), followed by a spoonful of the pudding mixture (about ⅓ cup).
Sprinkle with crushed Oreos (¼ cup) and a handful of candy rocks, then top with gummy worms.
Refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Note 1: Use your favorite boxed brownie mix. Gluten free brownie mix will work too!

Note 2: Find a gluten free instant pudding mix if making this for someone who is celiac. For someone with a gluten intolerance the standard “Jello” instant pudding will be fine.

Note 3: If lactose is an issue use lactose free heavy cream.

Note 4: Use anything but skim milk. Lactose free works, even unsweetened almond milk will work.

Note 5: Use gluten free Oreos if needed. Double stuffed doesn’t work as well as the “single stuffed” cookies.
