Print Recipe

A no-bake, nostalgic summer treat combining creamy chocolate pudding, crunchy cookie crumbs, and chewy gummy worms for a fun and simple dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 packets (3.9 oz / 110 g each) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 3 cups (720 ml) milk (whole or 2%)
  • About 20 chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos), crushed finely
  • 1 package (about 5 oz / 140 g) gummy worms
  • Whipped cream (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 packets of instant chocolate pudding mix with 3 cups (720 ml) of cold milk. Whisk vigorously for about 2 minutes until the mixture starts to thicken. Set aside to let it firm up for 5 minutes.
  2. Place 20 chocolate sandwich cookies into a large zip-top bag, seal it tightly, and gently crush them with a rolling pin or heavy pan until you get fine crumbs resembling dirt with a few slightly bigger chunks for texture. Alternatively, pulse in a food processor briefly.
  3. Spoon a layer of cookie crumbs into the bottom of each cup (about 2 tablespoons). Next, add a generous layer of chocolate pudding (around 3-4 tablespoons). Repeat layering once more, finishing with a top layer of cookie crumbs.
  4. Tuck 2-3 gummy worms into the top layer of cookie crumbs per cup. Feel free to let a worm trail over the edge for a playful effect.
  5. Optionally, top each cup with a dollop of whipped cream and garnish with a single gummy worm or a sprinkle of cookie crumbs.
  6. Place the cups in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the pudding to set fully and the flavors to meld. Serve chilled.

Notes

Use cold milk straight from the fridge for best pudding texture. Crush cookies to fine crumbs but keep some chunks for texture. Keep gummy worms chilled to maintain chewiness. Chill assembled cups at least 30 minutes before serving for best results. Add whipped cream just before serving to avoid sogginess. Variations include peanut butter mix-in, fruit toppings, gluten-free cookies, or dairy-free pudding for dietary needs.
