A quick and easy no-bake Halloween dessert made with crushed Oreos, creamy pudding, and gummy worms. Perfect for last-minute parties and guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (14.3 ounces) Oreo cookies
  • 1 package (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 cup cold milk
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
  • 1/2 cup gummy worms
  • Small clear plastic cups (7-9 ounce size)

Instructions

  1. Crush the Oreos in a food processor or by placing them in a resealable bag and crushing with a rolling pin until they resemble fine crumbs. Set aside.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the instant pudding mix with the cold milk for about 2 minutes until it starts to thicken. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes to fully activate.
  4. Add the pudding mixture to the cream cheese mixture and beat until smooth. Then fold in the thawed whipped topping gently with a spatula until combined and fluffy.
  5. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the crushed Oreos into the bottom of each clear cup. Press down lightly with the back of a spoon.
  6. Spoon or pipe the pudding mixture on top, filling each cup about 3/4 full. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Sprinkle a generous layer of the remaining crushed Oreos over the pudding to completely cover the surface.
  8. Gently push 2-3 gummy worms into each cup, leaving part of them sticking out as if they are crawling out of the dirt.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours before serving. For best results, add gummy worms just before serving if making ahead.

Notes

For best results, use regular Oreos (not double-stuf) to avoid clumpy crumbs. Let the pudding sit for 3-4 minutes after mixing before layering. Add gummy worms just before serving to keep them from getting soggy. The cups can be assembled up to 24 hours in advance, but add the gummy worms and final crumb topping right before serving.
