Can I make this the night before, or is better the day of?

  It is better the day of, it is super quick to make it, but sure you can make it the night before, the cookies just get really soft in the pudding. So if you want to make sure the Oreos still have a little crunch, definitely make it the day of.

I made this as a surprise for my pastor, who’d mentioned he would love for someone to make dirt for one of our luncheons. I had NO clue what he was talking about, so he explained. I’d never seen or had “dirt” before (of course, I don’t like chocolate, so that may have something to do with it). Anyhow, I searched online and found two possibles in Google results. This one won out because of the video. We just had our luncheon this past Thursday (6/23/22), and when my pastor found out what I’d made, he was excited and happy. And then he saw my artistic spin on it (I added faux grass and flowers along with the worms) and was even more impressed (he even took a PICTURE of it!) and THEN he ate it and was SUPER thrilled. So thanks for making my pastor’s week. He’s been going through some things (his wife has cancer), so he needed something to put a smile on his face. This did that, and I’m very grateful. (I was hoping to post a picture of my results, but I guess we can’t do that here. Oh, well.) Cheers!

Yes, Dirt Cups have been around for a long time and are easy to make, but I think they deserve their own spotlight. Don’t you? What is not to love about chocolate pudding sandwiched between layers of crushed Oreo cookies and topped with sweet gummy worms?
