Print Recipe

A healthier twist on classic dirt cups, featuring layers of creamy Greek yogurt and crushed Oreos, topped with gummy worms for a fun Halloween treat. Ready in under 15 minutes with no baking required.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups plain Greek yogurt (2% or whole milk recommended)
  • 3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 12 Oreo cookies (regular or reduced-fat)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (optional)
  • 12–15 gummy worms
  • Fresh mint leaves or small edible flowers (optional)
  • Additional crushed Oreo crumbs for garnish

Instructions

  1. Crush the Oreos: Place 12 Oreos in a ziploc bag, seal, and crush with a rolling pin into fine crumbs with some larger pieces. Set aside 2 tablespoons for garnish.
  2. Mix the creamy layer: In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until smooth. Adjust sweetness to taste.
  3. Melt the butter (optional): Melt butter in a small microwave-safe bowl (about 15 seconds). Pour over crushed Oreos and stir with a fork until evenly coated.
  4. Layer the cups: Start with 1 tablespoon of Oreo crumbs at the bottom of each cup. Press gently. Add 2-3 tablespoons of yogurt mixture, then another layer of crumbs. Repeat until ingredients are used, ending with crumbs on top.
  5. Add the gummy worms: Gently press 1-2 gummy worms into each cup so they are partially buried.
  6. Chill before serving: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow layers to set.

Notes

For best texture, use 2% or whole milk Greek yogurt. Let yogurt sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before mixing for easier layering. Add gummy worms just before serving to prevent color bleeding. These cups can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
