“Dirt Pudding” Pumpkin Patch

Description

I was bringing a dessert to a ‘spooky Halloween dinner,’ and wanted to make something creative. I had heard of the ‘dirt cup’ recipes with gummy worms before, but I wanted to do something a little different, so I adapted the recipe to this! Kiddos loved it and so did the adults!

Ingredients

  • 2 (14 ounce) packages chocolate sandwich cookies (such as Oreo®)
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup butter, softened
  • ½ cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 3 ½ cups milk
  • 2 (3.5 ounce) packages instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 1 (12 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 1 (5 ounce) bag gummy worm candies (Optional)
  • 40 candy (mellocreme) pumpkins
  • ½ cup vanilla frosting (Optional)
  • 1 drop green food coloring
