Pudding Filled Dirt Cupcakes Recipe

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place 24 cupcake liners in muffin tins.

Step 2

Prepare the cake mix according to box directions. Spoon evenly into the liners and bake 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few crumbs on it.

Step 3

Place cupcakes on wire rack and let cool completely.

Step 4

Once the cupcakes are cool, whisk the pudding mix and milk together for 2 minutes. Refrigerate until set.

Step 5

Fold in 1 cup Cool Whip gently.

Step 6

Cut a small part out of the top/center of each cupcake. Fill the holes with a scoop of pudding.

Step 7

Cover with the piece of the cupcake top. Use a flat spatula to frost the top of the cupcakes with the canned frosting. Roll the top of the cupcakes in the Oreo crumbs.

Step 8

Store cupcakes in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator.

Step 9

Right before serving, use a sharp knife to cut two slits in the top of the cupcakes. Push two gummy worm halves into the cut.
