This dessert is a fun project to do with your kids, and is quite yummy to boot!

 

Ingredients

• 1 package Oreo Cookies
• 2 cups Milk
• 2 (1.5 oz) pouches Chocolate Pudding Mix
• 8 oz Whipped Topping
• 1 package Gummy Worms

Directions

1. Smash the cookies to create the dirt. You can do this by manually smashing them in a large Ziploc bag with the flat side of a meat tenderizer, or by using a food processor. Either is fine, but you can expect chunkier bits using the manual method (I prefer the irregular dirt clods, personally). Set aside.
   
2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the milk and the pudding mix until smooth. Then set aside for a few minutes to firm up. 
   
3. Fold the whipped topping and half of the "dirt" into the pudding mixture with a spatula.
   
4. Time for construction! 
   • You can use a glass pan or individual cups...there is no "right" way to do it.
   • If you want your worms to be hiding, then place half of the pudding mixture in the bottom of your desired container, add a layer of worms, then cover with the rest of the pudding mixture and lastly top with the remaining cookie crumbs.
     
     
   • If you would rather your worms be crawling out of the dirt, then spoon all the pudding in the base of your container, press one end of each worm into the pudding and the let the other end angle up the side of the container, then pour the cookie crumbs on top around the worms.
     
   • Or you can do both - hide some worms and have others crawling out!
