Halloween Dirt Cups

Halloween Dirt Cups consist of alternating layers of Oreo crumbs and chocolate mousse. To get the appearance of a Halloween graveyard we add candy decorations such as gummy worms, pumpkin candies, and cracker "gravestones."

Notes

You can make each element ahead of time, but I would recommend assembling prior to serving so the Oreo crumbs don't get soft. 
Store elements separately: refrigerate the chocolate mousse!
