Equipment
- Hand Mixer
- Food Processor
- Plastic Cups
- Measuring Cups and Spoons
- Large Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
- 2 4- ounce chocolate instant pudding
- 4 cups milk any type, cold
- 2 cups whipped topping
- 10 Oreo cookies crushed
- 1 package gummy worms at least 16
Instructions
- Make the chocolate pudding by vigorously beating the pudding and milk in a large bowl for 2-3 minutes or until it starts to thicken.
- Add in 2 cups of whipped topping and mix well.
- Divide evenly amongst 8 cups (approximately ¾ cup)
- Top with about 2 tablespoons of Oreo crumbs, then set in the fridge for at least 2 hours or until ready to serve. Then add 2-3 gummy worms per cup and serve.
Notes
- Cold Milk: Use very cold milk so the pudding sets quickly.
- Chill Before Serving: This helps the pudding firm up and gives the flavors time to set.
- Crush Cookies Finely: A food processor works great, but a zip-top bag and rolling pin will do the trick.
- Layer for Effect: You can do a second layer of pudding and crumbs if you want a more dramatic “dirt” look.
- Add Candy Just Before Serving: This keeps them looking fresh and prevents them from getting sticky.
- Clear Cups: Using transparent cups shows off the fun layers and makes for a great visual.
