Prepare the Pudding Mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, prepare the instant chocolate pudding according to package instructions.
- Once the pudding has set, gently fold in the Cool Whip until well combined. Set aside.
-
Crush the Cookies:
- Take the chocolate sandwich cookies and place them in a resealable plastic bag.
- Using a rolling pin or the back of a spoon, crush the cookies until they resemble fine crumbs. Set aside.
-
Assemble the Dirt Dessert:
- Take a glass serving bowl and sprinkle half of the cookie crumbs evenly across the bottom.
- Carefully spoon the prepared pudding mixture over the cookie crumbs, spreading it out into an even layer.
-
Add the Worms:
- Arrange the gummy worms on top of the pudding mixture, placing some halfway into the dessert and letting the other half stick out, creating a playful effect.
-
Finish with More “Dirt”:
- Sprinkle the remaining cookie crumbs over the top of the pudding mixture, covering it completely and resembling a layer of dirt.
-
Chill and Serve:
- Place the assembled Dirt dessert in the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour before serving.
- Once chilled, serve the dessert directly from the bowl, scooping out portions that include both the creamy pudding mixture and the crunchy cookie “dirt.”
