Instructions
- Crush chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs. You can use a food processor or a zip-top bag and a rolling pin.
- In a large bowl, combine the crushed cookies, cocoa powder, milk, and vegetable oil. Mix until a moist, crumbly mixture forms. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until smooth and creamy. Let stand for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
- Layer the pudding and “dirt” mixture in individual serving glasses or a large trifle bowl, starting and ending with a layer of dirt.
- Gently press gummy worms into the top layer of dirt.
- If desired, sprinkle crushed green cookies around the edges to resemble grass.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the pudding to set.
Notes
For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate sandwich cookies. You can also add other Halloween candies to the dirt layer, such as chocolate chips or sprinkles.
