Oreo Cookies— The cookies bring crunch to the dessert while also delivering the sand-like look that renders the feel of dirt in the Halloween dessert. Halloween decor — Sour bite crawlers/ edible bones and skulls/ candy eyes – To decorate this Chocolate Brownie Halloween Dirt Cups and make it look creepy. Unsalted butter — This is used for preparing the Nutella frosting. Sugar — Powdered sugar is used for preparing the frosting. Salt — Just a pinch of this to neutralize the sweetness and intensify the flavors of other ingredients. Vanilla Essence — The vanilla essence flavor added to the frosting takes it to another level. Cream — Homemade whipped cream is best for preparing the frosting as it is the creamiest and richest. However, you can also substitute this with cream cheese. Skip the brownie layer — You can skip the brownie layer and alternate between the crushed Oreo layer and Chocolate Mousse. This also makes a super yummy dessert. Crush the Oreo to sand-like texture — Oreo is added to the dessert to give a sand-like texture and feel. For this, you can pulse the Oreo cookies in a food processor to achieve a sand-like texture. If you don’t have a food processor, don’t bother; toss the Oreo cookies in a plastic bag and seal it. Now, pound the bag with a rolling pin for the crushed cookies. Alternative to whipped cream — You can use cream cheese in the place of whipped cream for this Oreo and brownie dirt cup. It will create a more decadent chocolate layer that is truly irresistible! Alternative to the Mousse layer — You can use a no-cook chocolate pudding mix to create a pudding layer instead of the Mousse layer. It doesn’t require any cooking; therefore, it whips up quickly. If you prefer a thicker Mousse-like consistency, mix it with whipped cream and enjoy the rich delicacy.
For a super decadent treat — You can use chocolate ganache mixed with whipped cream to achieve that extra decadence that makes this Dirt Halloween Cups with brownie truly drool-worthy. To make it look more real — You can put patches of green frosting on the top layer, giving the Halloween dirt cups a grass-like look that catches attention. Get creative — You can go endlessly creative with this adorably charming Halloween dessert and top them with any festive and fun treats like gummy worms, Halloween sprinkles, bone skeleton candy, candy eyeballs, mini pumpkins, pumpkin candies, and more.
