Ingredients
2 packages (3.4 oz each) instant chocolate pudding mix
4 cups cold milk
1 package (16 oz) chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed
1 container (8 oz) whipped topping, thawed
1 bag gummy worms
Optional: Halloween-themed sprinkles or candy eyes
Instructions
Place the chocolate sandwich cookies into a zip-top bag, seal it tightly, and use a rolling pin to crush them into fine crumbs.
In a large bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes until the mixture begins to thicken.
Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping using a spatula until the mixture is light and creamy.
Add a layer of cookie crumbs to the bottom of each cup, followed by a generous scoop of the pudding mixture.
Top with the remaining cookie crumbs to look like dirt.
Add a gummy worm halfway into the dirt for a spooky effect.
Notes
Assemble up to 4 hours in advance and keep refrigerated. Add gummy worms right before serving so they do not get soggy. Ensure cookies are crushed into a fine powder for an authentic look. Customize by using vanilla pudding with green food coloring for a swamp theme.
