Graveyard Dirt Cake Dessert Cups are a spooky-sweet way to celebrate Halloween. With layers of creamy chocolate pudding, a topping of crumbled Oreos that look just like dirt, and a chocolate gravestone made with a mold, they’re fun to make and even more fun to serve. These no-bake desserts are simple enough for kids to help assemble, but still impressive enough for a Halloween party spread.
Helpful Tips
- Make the gravestones first: Melt chocolate, pour it into a gravestone mold, and let them set in the fridge. Having them ready before you assemble the cups makes things much easier.
- Crush Oreos evenly: Use a food processor for fine crumbs that look just like dirt, or crush them by hand in a zip-top bag for a chunkier texture.
- Add extras for fun: Gummy worms, candy pumpkins, or even a sprinkle of green coconut “grass” can make your graveyard scene more playful.
