Ingredients
Scale
For the Brownies:
- 1 box of brownie mix (or your favorite homemade brownie recipe)
For the Pudding Layer:
- 1 package (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping, thawed
For Decoration:
- 15 chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed (like Oreos)
- Gummy worms, candy pumpkins, or other Halloween-themed candies
- Paper headstones (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Brownies:
- Follow the instructions on the boxed brownie mix or your homemade brownie recipe. Bake according to the directions and allow the brownies to cool completely.
- Once cooled, cut the brownies into small squares or crumble them into pieces.
- Make the Pudding Layer:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until well combined. Let it sit for 2 minutes to thicken.
- Add the sweetened condensed milk and whipped topping to the pudding mixture. Gently fold until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the Brownie Dirt Pudding Cups:
- In individual cups or a large serving dish, layer the crumbled brownies as the base.
- Spoon the chocolate pudding mixture over the brownie layer.
- Top with crushed chocolate sandwich cookies to resemble dirt.
- Decorate:
- For a spooky Halloween touch, decorate the top with gummy worms, candy pumpkins, or other Halloween-themed candies.
- If using paper headstones, print and cut them out, then attach them to toothpicks and place them in the “graveyard.”
- Serve:
- Serve immediately with a cold glass of chocolate milk, or refrigerate the cups until ready to serve.
Notes
- Cooling Time: Ensure the brownies are completely cooled before assembling to avoid melting the pudding.
- Creaminess: Make sure the pudding mixture is well-combined and smooth for the best texture.
- Decoration: Be creative with your Halloween-themed decorations to make the dessert extra festive.
