Follow The Directions

01

Step

Embark on your culinary adventure by placing the chocolate sandwich cookies into a resealable plastic bag. Unleash your inner pastry chef and crush the cookies into fine crumbs using a rolling pin. (Approximately 5 minutes)

02

Step

In a mixing bowl, combine the instant chocolate pudding mix and milk. Whisk vigorously for 2 minutes until the pudding begins to thicken and achieve a smooth, luscious consistency.

03

Step

In a serving bowl or individual cups, create the 'mud' base. Sprinkle approximately 1/3 of the crushed cookie crumbs evenly across the bottom. Gently spoon the prepared chocolate pudding over the crumb base, ensuring a smooth and even layer. (Approximately 5 minutes)

04

Step

Scatter the remaining chocolate cookie crumbs generously over the pudding layer, mimicking the appearance of freshly turned earth. (Approximately 3 minutes)

05

Step

Now, for the playful touch! Strategically poke the gummy worms halfway into the 'dirt,' creating a whimsical and slightly eerie scene. (Approximately 5 minutes)

06

Step

Transfer your 'Mud and Worms' creation to the refrigerator and chill until serving, allowing the pudding to fully set and the flavors to meld together. (Minimum 30 minutes)

For an elevated presentation, consider using clear glass bowls or parfait glasses to showcase the layers of 'mud' and pudding.
Experiment with different flavors of pudding, such as vanilla or cookies and cream, for a unique twist.
Add a touch of green 'grass' by incorporating a sprinkle of shredded coconut, tinted with green food coloring.
If you don't have a rolling pin, use the flat bottom of a glass or mug to crush the cookies.
