Instructions
  1. Crush chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs. You can use a food processor or place cookies in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed cookies and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  4. Layer the cookie crumbs in the bottom of small glasses or cups, pressing down gently to form a base.
  5. Top with a layer of chocolate pudding.
  6. Next, add a layer of the cream cheese frosting.
  7. Decorate with gummy worms, plastic spiders, and chocolate shavings as desired.
  8. Chill for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set slightly.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate sandwich cookies. You can also add other Halloween-themed candies, such as mini chocolate chips or sprinkles.
