Zombie Dirt Cake Cups Recipe

By

Are you looking for a creepy dessert for Halloween or to enjoy while watching a zombie show? Zombie Dirt Cake Cups would be the perfect no bake dessert for it.

Zombie Dirt Cups

While I was shopping last week, I came across some neat Halloween edible decorations. I found little tombstones with bones, which I used to make my Graveyard Dirt Cake Cups. I also found zombie gummy lollipops by the baking and candy aisles. I thought the zombie hand lollipops would look great coming out of a dirt cake. If you haven’t heard of dirt cake, it is a pudding mixture layered with crushed cookies served in a large bowl. I usually serve it in little cups for individual servings and it also makes it easy to carry around at a party. These Zombie Dirt Cake Cups are a quick, no bake dessert that are perfect for a Halloween party or as a fun treat for kids.
