Ingredients

1 bowl
1 refrigerator
1 spatula or wooden spoon
1 set measuring spoons or a spoon
8 plastic 9oz cups You can serve in different sizes if preferred.
1 box family size instant chocolate pudding
3 cups chilled milk whole or 2% recommended
24 oreos I use regular, not double stuffed
Easter themed candies to top

Instructions

Start by making your instant pudding. Combine your jello packet with 3 cups of chilled milk.
Allow to rest for 5 minutes or so after combining, then fold and stir in your cool whip. Put in the fridge to chill. This is optional but I feel like it helps the recipe to set up!
While your pudding mixture is chilling, crush your oreo cookies. Add them into a ziploc baggie and use a rolling pin to flatten them. This is the perfect part for kids to help with! You can also use a food processor, but the rolling pin method is definitely more fun.
Start layering your pudding and cookie crumbs. I did 3 tbsp of the pudding and 2 tbsp of cookie crumbs per layer, but then added more cookie crumbs on the top layer. If it's more time efficient you can skip layering them too!
Store your dirt cups in the refrigerator. Once you have your dirt cups complete, but just before serving add your Easter toppings. This way they don't get too hard in the fridge.

Notes

Chill your pudding after making it allows it to set up.

You can use a food processor to crush your oreos, but smashing them is a lot of fun! I used a spring specialty oreo but would recommend the regular stuffing instead of double stuffed.

You can add more oreo mixture or more pudding depending on your preference.

These need to be refrigerated, and I recommend adding the candy toppings right before serving so they don't harden.

You can keep them in the fridge in an airtight container, but over time the cookies will start to go stale/get soft.
