Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups chocolate pudding
- 20 pieces chocolate sandwich cookies
- 12 pieces gummy worms
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 2 cups milk
- 1 package (3.4oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and milk until smooth and thickened. This should take about 2 minutes.
Let the pudding set for 5 minutes. While waiting, prepare the cookie crumbs.
Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a resealable plastic bag and crush them into fine crumbs using a rolling pin or food processor.
In serving cups or a large serving bowl, layer the dessert by starting with a base of chocolate pudding.
Sprinkle a generous layer of crushed cookies over the pudding to resemble 'dirt'.
Repeat the layers until all the pudding and cookie crumbs are distributed, finishing with a thick layer of cookie crumbs on top.
Decorate the dessert with gummy worms by placing them on top of the 'dirt' or half-buried to make them appear as though they're crawling out.
Optional: Add a dollop of whipped cream on top for extra texture and presentation.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy this playful and delicious treat!
