Instructions:
1️⃣ Prepare the Pudding:
Begin by whisking together the chocolate pudding mix and milk in a medium-sized bowl for 2 minutes, as per the package instructions. Allow the pudding to set for about 5 minutes. 🍮
2️⃣ Incorporate the Cool Whip:
Once the pudding is set, gently fold in the Cool Whip to create a light and fluffy mixture. ❄️

Start assembling the dirt cups by adding a tablespoon of crushed Oreo cookies into the bottom of each serving cup. 🍪
4️⃣ Add Pudding:
Top the cookie layer with a generous spoonful of the pudding mixture. 🥄
5️⃣ Continue Layering:
Continue alternating layers of crushed cookies and pudding, ending with a final layer of crushed cookies on top. 🍫

7️⃣ Prepare the Coconut Grass:
While the cups are chilling, prepare the green “grass” by adding shredded coconut to a container with a lid. Add a few drops of green food coloring and a touch of water, then shake the container until the coconut is evenly colored. 🥥🌈
8️⃣ Decorate and Serve:
Just before serving, sprinkle the colored shredded coconut on top of each cup to resemble grass. Place a few candy pumpkins on top for a festive finish, and get ready to enjoy these fun and delicious Pumpkin Dirt Cups! 🎃
