Supplies Needed:

1 pkg. Chocolate Sandwich Cookies

6 Small Clear Plastic Cups (about 8 oz.)
Mini Clothespins
Glue Stick
Small Sheet Green Paper
Black Marker
Green Candy Shred (optional)
Spoons

You can customize this part based on your preferences, but we used green paper and mini clothespins to decorate each dessert cup. Consider cupcake toppers or dinosaur clip art if you’d like to jazz this step up!

Next up, prepare pudding according to package directions and set in the fridge for 20-30 minutes or until firm.

Take the cookies apart and scrape off most the white filling and discard. Crush the cookies up until it looks like dirt consistency.

Set the cups out and start layering the ingredients. Add a layer of crushed cookies, then a layer of pudding. Toss in some gummy dinosaurs and some chocolate rocks. Repeat the layers again until the cups are full. Make sure you end with a little bit of cookie dirt, gummies, and chocolate rocks.
