We have been busy planting in the garden and to celebrate this I decided to make some Oreo dirt desserts or chocolate mint puddings. We have made dirt desserts with jelly worms in the past (I was first introduced to them in California) and this time I want to make them a little more adult.
These were so simple to make, they took less than 10 minutes to put together and the boys were delighted with them. They would make a great pudding for any party too.
How to make Oreo dirt desserts or chocolate mint puddings
Ingredients
Oreo cookies
Angel delight or chocolate pudding mix. If you wanted to make your own pudding, then I have a simple recipe here
Sprigs of mint
peppermint extract
First off I had to pop to Asda for some Oreo Cookies. It turns out that it was the perfect timing for this, as they were reduced from £1.03 to 50p a pack – total score.
Equipment list
Measuring Jug
Whisk
Wooden Spoons
Clear containers UK Link US Link
Stamp UK Link US Link
Ink
Plastic bag
Rolling pin
Instructions
Mix up your choclate flavoured angel delight or pudding mix per the packet instructions. Our’s was mixed with 300ml of milk and wisked.
For mint chocolate flavour, add 3 drops of peppermint extract or one drop of peppermint essential oil. We only added mint to half the mixture.
Pour into your containers – We used glass candle containers as they looked like little flower pots. We got six from our mixture and then set aside to set as per instructions (ours took 5 minutes in the fridge)
Place your packet of Oreo cookies into a plastic bag and bash with a rolling pin. You do not need to separate them or eat the cream! We bashed till we had a mixture of fine crumbs and some larger ones.
Pour on top of your pudding mixture.
Whilst our pudding was setting we decided to stamp MINT on to our wooden spoons. My top tip for this is to use an elastic band round the stamps to make the work.
Cut a sprig of mint and add to the pots. We have mint plants in our garden, so used them.
Push the spoon into the pots and serve.
We also did some pots without mint and with jelly worms instead for the children.
We recycled our spoons in to plant markers in the garden!

My son loves Oreo cookies so I have bookmarked this to make for him. Love the presentation too!
Oh Jen, I absolutely adore these! The ones with the mint and the little sticks are just gorgeous!
Oh, it looks so tasty and easy to make. Congrats on the appearance, great look of the puddings.
These look really cute and such a fun activity to do with children.
They look tasty but I would definitely want the one with worms in! And isn’t it great that bashing Oreo’s with a rolling pin totally counts as baking.
What a great idea! These look super!
Oh my goodness these sound wonderful – I would love to tuck into one.
Such a fun idea! I bet they would be a hit at any kids’ party 🙂
Love this idea. Really simple, but do look perfect.
Erin’s topic is bugs this term and this is a great activity for her to do.
Love these Jen – They are too cute! My girls are Oreo mad – a packet can disappear quicker than a blink. Unfortunately yesterday I found Tara actually eating some real dirt!!
Great way to use Oreos! 🙂
These are so cute and certainly demand an audience. Hopefully Mr. 6 will be able to have chocolate again and we can try these out. #laceyslegacy
These are so cute – especially the worm ones! Great photos x
Great recipe! I have to confess that when I first saw these last week, I really thought they were plants and you were writing a gardening post! I’m definitely going to make these. Your photos are lovely as well.
These are so adorable. I love them! Very creative. Plus it’s great that kids can help out too. Thanks for sharing at Motivational Monday Link Party! I can’t wait to see what you share this Sunday night.
