Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 oz Cool Whip, thawed
  • 1 (3.9 oz) box instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • 1 (14.3 oz) package Oreo cookies
  • Gummy worms, for decoration
  • Optional: small plastic Halloween decorations

Instructions

  1. Crush the entire package of Oreos in a large zip-top bag with a rolling pin until you have a mix of fine crumbs and small pebbly pieces. Set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese with an electric hand mixer until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add sugar and vanilla extract, beat for another minute until combined.
  3. Fold in thawed Cool Whip on low speed until just combined. Set aside.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk for 2 minutes until it starts to thicken. Let sit for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
  5. Layer the cups: spoon about 2 tablespoons crushed Oreos into the bottom of each clear cup. Add about 3 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture. Then add about 3 tablespoons of chocolate pudding. Finish with another layer of crushed Oreos on top.
  6. Stick 2-3 gummy worms into each cup so they look like they’re crawling out of the dirt.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, before serving.

Notes

Room temperature cream cheese is essential for a smooth filling. Let pudding set for 5 minutes before layering to keep layers distinct. For best results, chill overnight. Use a piping bag for clean layers if desired.
