Creating your Pumpkin Patch Dirt Cups is an enjoyable process. Follow these simple steps to assemble your delightful treats:

1. Prepare the Pudding: In a medium bowl, whisk together chocolate pudding mix and milk for about two minutes until thickened. Set aside.
2. Mix in Whipped Topping: Gently fold in the whipped topping with the prepared pudding until well combined and smooth.
3. Crush the Cookies: Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them using a rolling pin until they resemble dirt-like crumbs.
4. Layer the Cups: Take clear plastic cups and start layering. Begin with a scoop of chocolate pudding at the bottom.
5. Add Crushed Cookies: Sprinkle a layer of crushed cookies over the pudding to mimic dirt.
6. Repeat Layers: Add another layer of pudding, followed by more crushed cookies, until the cups are filled.
7. Decorate with Candy: Place gummy pumpkins on top of the last cookie layer. Add a small amount of green frosting around the pumpkin for a finishing touch, resembling vines.
8. Chill: Cover the cups with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour to allow the flavors to meld.
9. Serve: Once chilled, your Pumpkin Patch Dirt Cups are ready to be served!
