Instructions
Instructions
- Using scissors, cut each mini Oreo snack pack open at the short end. From each pack, remove 2 cookies and place those removed cookies in a bowl for crushing. Keep the opened packs for filling.
- Roll the top of each opened pack down about 1½ inches so each pack can stand upright. Arrange the 12 packs upright on a tray or baking sheet.
- Place the reserved cookies in a sealable plastic bag or a bowl and crush them to fine crumbs with a rolling pin or tamper. Set the crumbs aside.
- Pour 2 cups milk into a medium bowl. Add the 3.9 oz instant chocolate pudding mix and whisk for 2 minutes, until combined and beginning to thicken.
- Refrigerate the pudding for 5 minutes to set slightly.
- Remove the pudding from the refrigerator and fold the 8 oz thawed whipped topping into the pudding until fully combined and smooth.
- Transfer the pudding mixture to a large pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch snip, or use a spoon. Divide the mixture evenly and fill each prepared Oreo pack.
- Cut the 12 gummy worms in half. Place two gummy-worm halves on top of each filled pack.
- Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of the crushed reserved cookies over each pack as a final “dirt” topping. Chill or serve immediately.

Notes
If you prefer the cookies to stay crunchy, serve the desserts shortly after assembling.
For a softer, more cake-like cookie texture, make the dirt in a bag cups a few hours ahead of time and refrigerate. The moisture from the filling will naturally soften the Oreos as they sit.
When made ahead, cover the tray with foil or plastic wrap and store upright in the fridge to keep everything in place.
