Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (3.4-ounce) box instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 (8-ounce) tub Cool Whip, thawed
- 20 Oreo cookies, finely crushed
- 24 to 32 gummy worms
- 8 clear plastic cups or small dessert cups
Instructions
- Whisk the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk in a large mixing bowl until smooth and no lumps remain.
- Refrigerate the pudding mixture for 5 minutes so it thickens.
- Fold the thawed Cool Whip into the pudding with a spatula until just combined and fluffy.
- Divide the pudding mixture evenly among 8 serving cups.
- Top each cup with crushed Oreo crumbs, or alternate layers of pudding and Oreo crumbs for a fun layered look.
- Cover and chill the pudding cups until ready to serve.
- Right before serving, garnish each cup with 3 to 4 gummy worms and enjoy.
Notes
- Use cold milk so the instant pudding thickens properly.
- Add the gummy worms right before serving for the best texture and appearance.
- For extra crunch, sprinkle fresh Oreo crumbs on top just before serving.
- Store covered pudding cups in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Do not freeze, because the pudding and whipped topping can separate after thawing.
