A fun and festive Halloween dessert featuring layers of crushed Oreos, creamy pudding, and creepy gummy worms. Perfect for kids and adults alike!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 20 Oreos, crushed into fine crumbs
  • Two 3.9 oz packets of chocolate pudding mix
  • 4 cups cold milk
  • One 8 oz container of whipped topping, thawed
  • One 8 oz block of cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • Gummy worms for decoration
  • Optional Halloween decorations (e.g., tombstones, candy bones, skulls)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pudding: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes until it thickens. Set aside in the fridge to chill.
  2. Make the cream cheese layer: In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar using a hand mixer until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped topping until well combined.
  3. Crush the Oreos: Using a food processor, pulse the Oreos until they resemble fine crumbs. Alternatively, place the cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
  4. Layer the dessert: Start with a layer of Oreo crumbs at the bottom of your serving dish or cups. Add a layer of the cream cheese mixture, followed by a layer of chocolate pudding. Repeat the layers until the dish is full, finishing with a thick layer of Oreo crumbs on top.
  5. Decorate: Add gummy worms crawling out of the ‘dirt’ and arrange any additional Halloween-themed candy decorations on top.
  6. Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
  7. Serve: Scoop into bowls or let guests dig right in with spoons.
