Instructions

Crush the Oreo cookies in a food processor or in a zip-top bag with a rolling pin until they resemble dirt.
In a bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the chocolate pudding mix and milk until thickened.
Fold the pudding mixture into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
Fold in the whipped topping gently.
In a 9×13-inch dish or individual cups, layer the crushed cookies and pudding mixture, starting and ending with the crushed cookies.
Top with gummy worms if desired and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

You can use vanilla pudding instead of chocolate for a lighter version.
Try layering in individual cups or jars for easy serving and presentation.
This dessert can be made a day ahead and stored in the fridge.
