Ingredients

1 package of Oreo cookies about 36 cookies
1 package package (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
2 cups cold milk
8 oz whipped topping thawed
Gummy worms as many as you desire
Clear plastic cups for serving

Instructions

Place the Oreo cookies in a large zip-top bag. Seal the bag and use a rolling pin or the back of a spoon to crush the cookies until they resemble fine crumbs. You can also use a food processor for this step.
In a mixing bowl, combine the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk. Whisk vigorously for about 2 minutes or until the pudding thickens. Gently in a package (8 oz.) of whipped topping until the white can no longer be seen.
In clear plastic cups, start with a layer of crushed Oreo cookies at the bottom. This will be your "dirt" layer. Next, add a layer of the prepared chocolate pudding mixture on top of the cookie crumbs. This represents the "mud." Continue alternating between Oreo cookie crumbs and pudding mixture, ending with Oreo crumbs on top. Place a few gummy worms into the top layer to create the playful "worms."
Chill in the refrigerator for about 1 hour before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

Make in Advance: You can make these dirt and worms cups up to one day in advance. More than that, the Oreos will be very soggy.Â

Storage Instructions: For leftovers, store in the refrigerator. Eat within 24 hours for Oreos to not be soggy.Â
