I cannot believe that the first time I made Oreo Dirt Pudding Recipe was almost 15 years ago. It is such a funny story! My cousin was expecting and her son will be 15 in April. We both love Oreo’s and just had to make this recipe for Christmas.
We stayed up all night crushing Oreo’s in a zip-lock bag because we did not have a food processor. Can you believe it? We were so determined to make and we did. Here it is 15 years later and my cousins are still asking: Trina did you make the Oreo stuff? Lol!

How to Serve Oreo Dirt Pudding?
Dirt Pudding Recipe is made during Halloween and other holidays, but it is a perfect choice for any occasion. This dirt pudding dessert is often served by adding gummy worms.
My favorite way to serve Dirt Pudding is by putting in glass trifle bowls to see all different layers! You can also use a 9 x 13 inch pan, and spread thin pudding and Oreo layers; this way you will get a dirt cake.
One of the funnest way to serve Oreo Dirt Pudding is in a cute sand pail topped with colored gummy worms. Another best way to serve Dirt Pudding is to make them in individual cups especially in birthday parties and kids gathering.
