Ingredients

Crust & Layers

  • 1 package (14.3 oz) Oreo cookies regular, not Double Stuf
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 packages (3.4 oz each) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 3 1/4 cups cold whole milk
  • 12 oz frozen whipped topping thawed (like Cool Whip)

Toppings & Garnish

  • 10-12 gummy worms assorted colors
  • Optional chocolate rocks or crushed chocolate bars for extra texture

Instructions

  • Place the entire package of Oreo cookies (creme filling included) in a food processor or a large zip-top bag. Pulse or crush with a rolling pin until they resemble fine crumbs. Transfer to a bowl and mix with the melted butter until fully combined.
  • Press the buttered Oreo crumbs firmly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a 9x13-inch baking dish or a clean flower pot (for a fun presentation). Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
  • In a separate large bowl, whisk the instant chocolate pudding mixes with the cold milk for 2 minutes until thick and smooth. Let it set for 5 minutes to thicken further.
  • Fold half of the thawed whipped topping (about 6 oz) into the cream cheese mixture until uniform. Then, gently fold this cream cheese mixture into the thickened chocolate pudding until no streaks remain.
  • Spread the creamy pudding mixture evenly over the prepared Oreo crust. Carefully spread the remaining whipped topping over the pudding layer to create a smooth 'topsoil'.
  • Sprinkle any reserved Oreo crumbs over the top. Decorate with gummy worms, partially burying some for a playful 'worm-in-dirt' effect. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to set completely.
