Ingredients
Ingredients
- 4 cups milk
- 2 boxes (3.4 oz each) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 8 ounces whipped topping (softened; can also use whipped cream)
- 12 chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreo, crushed)
- 24 gummy worms (about 3-5 per cup)
Instructions
- Prepare the pudding: In a large bowl, combine the cold milk and instant chocolate pudding mix. Whisk vigorously until the pudding mix is fully dissolved. Place the bowl in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes, allowing the pudding to begin thickening and set just slightly.
- Fold in whipped topping: Once the pudding has started to thicken, fold in the softened whipped topping gently but thoroughly until combined, creating a smooth and creamy mixture. Evenly layer or spoon the pudding mixture into individual cups. Chill the cups in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to help the pudding set further.
- Prepare the cookie crumble and decorate: Crush the chocolate sandwich cookies by placing them in a zip-top bag and gently rolling over them with your hands, a rolling pin, or a heavy can until you achieve a coarse crumb texture. Sprinkle the crushed cookies evenly over the top of each pudding cup. Finally, decorate each cup by adding gummy worms on top to resemble ‘dirt and worms.’ Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
- For best results, ensure the whipped topping is softened to blend easily with the pudding.
- Crushing the cookies coarsely will provide a nice texture contrast to the creamy pudding.
- This dessert is best served chilled but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- You can substitute gummy worms with other candy if desired for variation.
- If using whipped cream instead of whipped topping, whip it to soft peaks before folding in.
