Halloween Dirt Cups Notes

If your child has a peanut allergy you can swap out the Reeses for gummy worms.
Mix it up! Add cool whip at the bottom of each cup, then a layer of pudding for a fun twist.
Don’t like Oreos? Dip Milano cookies in melted chocolate chips and use them as tomb stones instead of the half of the Oreo. You can also use chocolate graham cracker crumbs instead of Oreo crumbs too.
Not a fan of chocolate pudding. Use vanilla pudding instead, the fine crumbs of the crushed Oreos will still look like dirt. So you can still make the Halloween graveyard dirt cups.
