12chocolate sandwich cookies(like Oreos) crushed

16gummy worms 2-3 gummy worms per cup
8Milano cookiesor other long light-colored flat cookie
½cupchocolate chipsoptional
1tablespooncoconut oiloptional
Bone Shaped Sprinklesoptional
Instructions
Put cold milk and pudding in a large bowl. Mix with a whisk until fully dissolves.
Place the pudding in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes, or until it begins to thicken and set just a little.
Fold in softened whipped topping into the chocolate pudding, mixing well.
Layer the pudding evenly between the cups. Place in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to chill and set further.
Crush cookies in a food processoar or in a strong zip top bag. If using a bag you can use your hands, a rolling pin or even a heavy canned food item to gently roll over and crush the cookies.
Melt chocolate and coconut oil in the microwave, then add to a small pastry bag or zip-top bag. Cut a small hole in the tip of the bag then use to decorate Milano cookies like gravestones and ghosts. Place the cookies in the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes so the chocolate sets up.
Sprinkle chocolate cookie crumbs on top of each dirt pie cup evenly. Press the bottom half of the Milano cookie ghosts and gravestones into each cup.
Add gummy worms and bone sprinkles to decorate, then enjoy!
Notes
Shortening can be used in place of coconut oil in the melted chocolate decorations.
A gel frosting in a tub can also be used to decorate the ghosts and gravestones. See my tips in the article about other options to buy in your local grocery store.
A layer of chocolate Oreo crumbs can be added to the bottom of the cup before adding the pudding if you like even more of a layered look.
