Preparation
  1. Color the Coconut: Add 2-3 drops of green food coloring to the shredded coconut in a small bowl. Mix thoroughly until evenly coated.
  2. Crush the Oreos: Place the Oreos in a Ziploc bag and crush them with a mallet or rolling pin until crumbly.
  3. Combine Pudding and Oreos: In a bowl, mix the Jello chocolate pudding with the crushed Oreos until well combined.
  4. Layer the Dirt Cups: Spoon the Oreo pudding mixture into serving cups, filling them halfway.
  5. Add the Green Coconut Grass: Sprinkle the green coconut over the pudding layer.
  6. Finish with Gummy Worms: Place gummy worms on top of the coconut, burying their tails slightly into the mixture.

Notes

For decoration, consider adding edible flowers or chocolate shavings. You can prepare the pudding and Oreos the night before. Experiment with different gummy candies for a unique touch.
