Print Recipe

A fun and easy Halloween treat featuring layers of creamy chocolate pudding, cream cheese, whipped topping, and crushed cookies that mimic dirt, topped with spooky candy decorations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box instant chocolate pudding mix (3.9 oz)
  • 2 cups milk (480 ml)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened (115 g)
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar (30 g)
  • 1 cup whipped topping (240 ml), like Cool Whip or homemade whipped cream
  • About 15 Oreos, crushed into crumbs
  • A handful of gummy worms (optional)
  • Halloween candy tombstones or mini candy pumpkins
  • Chocolate chips or candy eyes (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and 2 cups cold milk for about 2 minutes until it thickens. Set aside for 5 minutes to fully set.
  2. Using an electric mixer, beat 4 oz softened cream cheese and 1/4 cup powdered sugar until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Gently fold 1 cup whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until combined, being careful not to deflate it.
  4. Fold the prepared chocolate pudding into the cream cheese mixture until creamy and smooth.
  5. Crush Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed plastic bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
  6. Spoon a couple tablespoons of cookie crumbs into the bottom of each cup. Add about 1/3 cup pudding mixture, then top with more cookie crumbs. Repeat layering until the cup is nearly full, ending with a cookie crumb layer.
  7. Press gummy worms into the top cookie crumb layer and add candy tombstones or mini pumpkins. Scatter chocolate chips or candy eyes if desired.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld and pudding to set.

Notes

Soften cream cheese before mixing to avoid lumps. Fold whipped topping gently to keep mixture light and fluffy. Crush Oreos to a fine crumb with some texture, not powder. Chill at least 1 hour before serving. For dairy-free, use coconut-based cream cheese and whipped topping. For gluten-free, use gluten-free chocolate sandwich cookies.
