“Mud” Tarts

Related

Created by Clarissa on August 28, 2017

  • Serves: 4 people
  • Yield: 4 mini tarts
  • Category: book recipe, Dessert

Ingredients

  • 1 package of regular oreos (24+ cookies)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1 box chocolate instant pudding mix (and the amount of milk it asks for)
  • gummy worms and chocolate rock candy

Instructions

  1. Using a food processor, blender, or Ziploc bag and rolling pin, smash 24 Oreos until they break up into fine pieces. Next, place the crushed Oreos in a blender or food processor then add the melted butter. Pulse the mixture together until it becomes wet and sand-like.
  2. Press the Oreo mixture into your tart tins (I did 4 tins that were 4.75" diameter) along the bottom and sides. Use the back of a metal spoon or pressing tool to really pack your crust in tightly. Place them in the fridge and let them cool and harden for at least two hours. (You could also freeze them to really firm them up.)
  3. Meanwhile, mix up the instant chocolate pudding mix per the instructions on the box and place in the fridge to cool and thicken for the allotted amount of time. Then crush up the remaining Oreos in the package to create a "dirt" topping to decorate your tarts and set aside.s
  4. Once your pudding is thick and your crusts are firm you are ready to asssemble your tarts. Carefully remove the Oreo crusts from your tins and fill them to the brim with chocolate pudding. Top them with some crushed Oreos for "dirt", a gummy worm and some chocolate candy rocks.
