Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups cold whole milk
- 15–20 chocolate sandwich cookies (e.g., Oreos)
- 1 cup gummy worms
- Optional: green-colored shredded coconut
- Optional: candy eyeballs
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and 2 cups cold milk for about 2 minutes until it starts to thicken. Let it sit for 5 minutes to fully set.
- While the pudding sets, place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them into fine crumbs using a rolling pin or heavy-bottomed pan.
- Take clear cups and add a spoonful of cookie crumbs (about 1-2 tablespoons) to the bottom of each cup.
- Spoon the chocolate pudding on top of the crumbs, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
- Poke 2-3 gummy worms into the pudding at different angles so they appear to be crawling out.
- Sprinkle the remaining cookie crumbs over the top of each cup, covering the pudding completely.
- If using, press candy eyeballs into the dirt and sprinkle green coconut ‘grass’ around the edges.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
For the crispiest dirt, add the cookie crumbs within an hour of serving. Use instant pudding, not cook-and-serve. Let kids help with assembly for extra fun.
