Print Recipe

A quick, no-bake dessert featuring creamy chocolate pudding, crushed Oreo ‘dirt,’ and gummy worms. Perfect for Halloween parties and guaranteed to be a hit with kids and adults alike.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (3.9 oz) package instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • 1 (8 oz) tub frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 1 (14.3 oz) package Oreo cookies
  • 1 cup gummy worms
  • Optional: green or orange food coloring
  • Optional: small plastic cups or clear dessert cups

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and 2 cups cold milk for about 2 minutes until it starts to thicken.
  2. Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the pudding using a spatula until light and airy.
  3. Place the Oreos in a Ziploc bag and crush them with a rolling pin into fine crumbs with some larger pieces. Set aside about 1/4 cup for topping.
  4. Start with a layer of crushed Oreos at the bottom of each cup (about 2 tablespoons).
  5. Add a layer of the pudding mixture, filling the cup about halfway.
  6. Press a few gummy worms into the pudding layer so they look like they’re crawling out.
  7. Top with another layer of crushed Oreos, covering the pudding completely.
  8. Refrigerate the cups for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  9. Just before serving, add a few more gummy worms on top for garnish.

Notes

Don’t skip the chilling step—30 minutes makes the pudding set properly. For best results, make the day before serving. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For a vegan version, use dairy-free milk, vegan whipped topping, and vegan chocolate sandwich cookies.
