Dirt Pudding Chocolate Cookie Layers (Print View)

Creamy chocolate pudding layered with crushed cookies and topped with gummy worms for a fun, no-bake treat.

# What You'll Need:

→ Pudding Layer

01 - 1 package (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
02 - 2 cups cold milk
03 - 1 cup whipped topping, thawed

→ Cookie Dirt

04 - 18 chocolate sandwich cookies, finely crushed

→ Decorations

05 - 12 gummy worms

# Method:

01 - Whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk in a large mixing bowl for 2 minutes until the mixture thickens considerably.
02 - Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the pudding mixture using a spatula until fully incorporated and smooth.
03 - Crush the chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor, or place them in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin until the texture resembles dirt.
04 - Spoon a layer of cookie crumbs into the bottom of 6 serving cups or jars. Add a layer of chocolate pudding mixture. Repeat the layers, finishing with a generous topping of cookie crumbs to completely cover the pudding surface.
05 - Decorate each cup by pressing 2 gummy worms partially into the cookie crumb layer so they appear to be crawling out of the dirt.
06 - Refrigerate the assembled cups for at least 1 hour to allow the pudding to set and the flavors to meld before serving.

# Insider Tips:

01 -
  • Its the ultimate nostalgic treat that adults love just as much as kids do

02 -
  • Let the cups chill for at least an hour so the flavors meld together properly
  • Press the worms in gently or they might sink too deep into the pudding
03 -
  • A splash of vanilla extract in the pudding mixture elevates everything subtly
  • Use a small funnel to get the cookie crumbs exactly where you want them
