THE HAMPTON CANDY COMPANY Cookie Crumbs Chocolate Dirt 2.5 lb — Cookies & Crème Crushed for Crusts & Toppings

Rich, crunchy chocolate cookie crumbs in a 2.5-pound bulk bag for crusts, garnishes, and dessert toppings.

These black cookies & crème crumbs from THE HAMPTON CANDY COMPANY turn everyday desserts into showstoppers. Sized for texture—ranging from bite-sized pieces to chunky bits—this 2.5-pound pack gives you ready-to-use cookie crunch without extra prep. Use them straight from the bag as a garnish, press them into a buttery crust for pies and cheesecakes, or blitz them briefly for a finer crumb when a smoother base is needed.

How do I use these crumbs to make a pie or cheesecake crust?

Building a sturdy crust is simple: combine the cookie crumbs with melted butter or coconut oil, press into your pan, and chill or bake as your recipe directs. The variety of piece sizes creates a slightly textured base that holds together well while delivering chocolatey flavor in every bite.

• Mix 2 1/2 to 3 cups crumbs with 5–7 tablespoons melted butter for a standard 9-inch crust.
• Press firmly into pan sides and bottom for compact results.
• Chill 30 minutes before filling; bake 8–10 minutes for extra firmness.

Can I use the cookie crumb mix as a topping or mix-in?

Yes—these crumbs make a versatile garnish and texture booster. Sprinkle over ice cream, fold into batter and cookie dough, or use as a crunchy layer in parfaits and trifles. The larger pieces add visible crunch while smaller bits mingle smoothly with creams and frostings.

• Sprinkle generously over sundaes, cupcakes, and milkshakes for visual contrast.
• Fold into no-bake fillings or cookie dough for added bite.
• Layer between mousse or pudding for crunchy mouthfeel in parfaits.

What if I need a finer crumb for delicate recipes?

If your recipe requires a finer texture, a quick pulse in a blender or food processor creates a sand-like crumb in seconds. This lets you tailor the crumb size from chunky to smooth without losing the cookies & crème flavor profile, so you can adapt the product for tarts, thin crusts, or decorative dusting.

• Pulse 5–10 short bursts for a fine, even crumb.
• Sift if ultra-fine texture is needed for delicate pastries.
• Combine with a neutral oil for crumb coatings on truffles or bonbons.

How much comes in the package and how should I store it?

The resealable 2.5-pound bulk bag supplies ample quantity for multiple recipes or high-volume decorating. Store it in a cool, dry place sealed tight to preserve crunch; refrigerate or freeze for long-term storage if you expect to keep it beyond a few weeks.

• Contains 2.5 pounds of assorted-size cookie crumbs and chunks.
• Reseal after opening; keep away from heat and moisture.
• Freeze for up to 6 months to maintain peak freshness.
