This creepy crawly dessert layers creamy chocolate pudding with crunchy cookie crumbs in a jar, topped with gummy worms. The pudding is made from instant mix, milk, and cocoa, then combined with cream cheese and whipped cream for extra richness. Serve immediately for a fun Halloween treat that looks like dirt.

Ingredients

1 15 oz pkg chocolate sandwich cookies

2 cups cold milk

1 3.4 oz pkg instant chocolate pudding mix

1 tbsp cocoa powder

4 oz cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup Dixie Crystal's sugar

1/4 cup whipped cream

gummy worms, for garnish

Directions

Pulse the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor until they become fine crumbs resembling sand. Set the crumbs aside.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cold milk, instant chocolate pudding mix, and cocoa powder until smooth. Let the mixture sit for 3–5 minutes until it thickens.

In another bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy. Gently fold in the whipped cream and the thickened pudding mixture until combined.

Spoon a generous layer of the pudding mixture into the bottom of a jar. Top with an even layer of cookie crumbs, then repeat the layers. Garnish with a few gummy worms and serve right away.
