Ingredients

2 cup Milk
1 package Chocolate Pudding, instant
3 1/2 cup Cool Whip
16 ounce Oreos
8 Gummy Worms (opt)
8 Plastic Flowers (opt)

Directions

1
In a large bowl, whisk the milk and instant chocolate pudding mix vigorously for 2 minutes until the mixture begins to thicken.
2
Let the pudding stand for 5 minutes to finish setting, then gently fold in half of the Cool Whip until combined.
3
Place the Oreos in a resealable plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin or heavy utensil until they resemble coarse crumbs.
4
Fold half of the crushed Oreos into the pudding mixture, leaving some crumbs aside for topping.
5
Spoon a small amount of the reserved cookie crumbs into the bottom of 8 serving cups or glasses.
6
Divide the pudding mixture evenly among the cups, filling them about three-quarters full.
7
Sprinkle the remaining cookie crumbs over the top of each cup to create the "dirt" layer.
8
If desired, insert a gummy worm halfway into the crumbs and add a plastic flower for decoration.
9
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and the dessert to chill.
