Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 packages (14.3 oz each) Oreo cookies
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 packages (3.9 oz each) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 3 cups cold whole milk
  • 12 oz frozen whipped topping thawed
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 16 whole gummy worms for garnish

Method
 

  1. **Crush.** Pulse Oreos in a food processor into fine crumbs. Set aside 1 cup for top, save the rest for layers.
  2. **Beat.** Beat softened cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar 2 minutes until fluffy and smooth.
  3. **Pudding.** In a separate bowl whisk pudding mix with cold milk 2 minutes until thickened. Let sit 5 minutes.
  4. **Combine.** Fold pudding into the cream cheese mixture. Add vanilla. Fold in whipped topping until smooth.
  5. **Layer.** In a 9x13 inch dish, layer 1/3 of the remaining Oreo crumbs, then half the pudding mixture. Repeat: crumbs, pudding, crumbs.
  6. **Top.** Sprinkle reserved 1 cup Oreo crumbs over the top in an even layer. Cover and chill 4 hours.
  7. **Decorate.** Press gummy worms partially into the top so they stick out like worms in dirt. Slice and serve.

Notes

Use full size Oreos and crush them in a food processor or zip bag with a rolling pin. Soften cream cheese 1 hour at room temp for the smoothest filling. Use cold milk straight from the fridge for the pudding to set thick.
