Chocolate dirt dessert is a no-bake layered treat built from chocolate pudding, crushed Oreo cookies, and gummy worms arranged to look like a garden planter. It comes together in about 20 minutes of prep plus chilling time, making it a reliable pick for kids' parties or casual get-togethers.

For the Oreo Soil:

For the Garnish:
12piecesgummy wormsfor decoration
Instructions
Prepare the Chocolate Pudding: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until smooth and thickened, about 2 minutes. Let it sit for another 3 minutes to set.
Make the Oreo Soil: In a blender or food processor, pulse the Oreo cookies until they resemble coarse crumbs. Avoid over-processing as they should mimic loose earth.
Layer the Dessert: Begin layering by adding a scoop of chocolate pudding into the bottom of your serving cups. Follow with a layer of Oreo crumbs. Repeat until your cups are filled, finishing with a top layer of 'soil'.
Garnish: Add a couple of gummy worms on top, playfully positioned to appear as if emerging from the dirt.

Notes
For a more sophisticated twist, consider adding a layer of whipped cream between the pudding and cookie crumbs or use refrigerated pudding for a creamier texture.
