This healthier version of dirt pudding uses avocado as the base for a creamy chocolate pudding. Sweetened with maple syrup and layered with Oreo crumbs, it mimics the classic dirt cup. Decorate with gummy worms and candy pumpkins for a festive Halloween treat.

Ingredients

4 very ripe avocados

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup pure maple syrup

1/3 cup plus two tablespoons milk ((or milk alternative))

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

12 tablespoon oreo cookie crumbs

Gummy worms and/or pumpkin candies

Directions

Put the avocados into a food processor and process on high speed until they are broken up and nearly smooth.

Add the cocoa powder, maple syrup, milk, and vanilla extract. Continue blending on high, stopping to scrape down the sides with a spatula, until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Taste the pudding and adjust to your liking. For a thinner texture, add extra milk; for more sweetness, add more maple syrup; for a richer chocolate flavor, add extra cocoa powder.

Spoon 2 heaping tablespoons of pudding into each of 6 cups. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of Oreo crumbs over the pudding to create the "dirt" layer. Divide the remaining pudding evenly among the cups, then top each with another tablespoon of Oreo crumbs.

Garnish with gummy worms and/or candy pumpkins as you like. Enjoy right away or refrigerate for later.
