Scale
- 1 packet chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- 15 chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed
- 1 cup whipped cream (optional)

- If using whipped cream, whip it fresh or use store-bought. Optionally, add a splash of vanilla extract for flavor.
- Layer the dirt cups by spooning in chocolate pudding, followed by crushed cookie crumbs. Repeat until the cup is almost full, ending with cookie crumbs on top.
- Decorate the top layer with candy pumpkins and green icing or sprinkles to create a pumpkin patch design.
- Optional: Add a dollop of whipped cream beneath the top layer of cookie crumbs for extra creaminess.
- Chill the cups in the fridge for at least 10 minutes before serving.
