In the spirit of the fall and Halloween season, I wanted to celebrate with festive fall dirt cups that didn’t involve worms. I think I would like Halloween a lot better if it didn’t involve worms or spiders! Why does everything have to be decorated with BUGS?! I mean, my Halloween Chocolate Pretzel Spider Webs are super cute, but still.

I almost apologized for saying I hate bugs. But! At this point, I don’t even care. Ghosts I can totally handle (hello, Halloween Boo Meringues.)

This pumpkin patch pudding dessert is perfect for what I wanted. These would even be cute for Thanksgiving, because, pumpkins. Make the “dirt” Oreo crumbs (a.k.a. the black soil) out of Oreo cookies. I use a food processor and it takes seconds and you get nice fine crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, just simply place them in a zip-lock bag and smash them with a rolling pin or meat tenderizer.
