Description

This Brownie Dirt Pudding is a fun and spooky dessert perfect for Halloween or any occasion that calls for a playful treat. Layers of fudgy brownies, creamy chocolate pudding made with instant mix and sweetened condensed milk, topped with crushed chocolate sandwich cookies to mimic dirt, and festive Halloween candies create a delicious and visually appealing dessert that’s easy to assemble and sure to delight both kids and adults.

Ingredients

Brownie Base

  • 1 box of brownie mix (or your favorite homemade brownie recipe)

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

Toppings

  • 15 chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed (like Oreos)
  • Gummy worms, candy pumpkins, or other Halloween-themed candies
  • Paper headstones (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brownies: Follow the instructions on the boxed brownie mix or your homemade brownie recipe. Bake the brownies according to the directions and allow them to cool completely to prevent melting the pudding layer.
  2. Cut or Crumble Brownies: Once cooled, cut the brownies into small squares or crumble them into pieces to create the base layer for the dessert cups.
  3. 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 properly.
  4. Add Sweetened Condensed Milk and Whipped Topping: Add the sweetened condensed milk and the thawed whipped topping to the pudding mixture. Gently fold them in until the mixture is smooth and creamy without deflating the whipped topping.
  5. Assemble the Brownie Dirt Pudding Cups: In individual cups or a large serving dish, layer the crumbled brownies as the base to simulate soil.
  6. Add the Pudding Layer: Spoon the prepared chocolate pudding mixture over the brownie layer carefully to create distinct layers.
  7. Top with Crushed Cookies: Sprinkle the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies over the pudding layer to resemble dirt, adding texture and flavor.
  8. Decorate: For a spooky Halloween touch, decorate the top with gummy worms, candy pumpkins, or other Halloween-themed candies to create a fun and festive look.
  9. Add Paper Headstones (Optional): If using paper headstones, print and cut them out, then attach them to toothpicks and insert them into the “graveyard” pudding cups for a charming decoration.
  10. Serve: Serve the dessert immediately with a cold glass of chocolate milk, or refrigerate the individual cups until ready to serve for a chilled treat.

Notes

  • Ensure brownies are completely cooled before assembling to avoid melting the pudding layer.
  • You can substitute homemade brownies if preferred.
  • For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free pudding mix, whipped topping, and milk alternatives.
  • Make ahead and refrigerate for up to 24 hours; add candy decorations just before serving for best appearance.
  • Use crushed cookies without filling if you want less sweetness in the “dirt” topping.
