Description
Cream cheese and whipped topping meet rich chocolate pudding in fluffy layers, punctuated by crunchy Oreo crumbs and playful gummy worms. Each spoonful feels like digging into sweet, chilled mud with bursts of creamy sweetness.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 packages instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups milk
- 8 ounces whipped topping, thawed
- 15 Oreo cookies, crushed
- 12 gummy worms
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the pudding mix and milk for about 2 minutes until it thickens.
- Gently fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until combined.
- Carefully fold the pudding into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
- Divide half of the crushed cookies among serving cups to form the first “dirt” layer.
- Spoon half of the chocolate cream mixture over the cookie crumbs.
- Repeat with the remaining cookies and chocolate cream to build a second layer.
- Top each cup with gummy worms and chill for at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes
- For best texture, let the cream cheese soften at room temperature before mixing.
- Swap gummy worms for other candies like mini marshmallows or chocolate chips.
- Cups can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance; cover and refrigerate.
- Use dark chocolate pudding mix for a richer chocolate flavor.
