How To Make Dirt and Worms Pudding Cups
- Make pudding. Whisk together pudding mix and cold milk in a large mixing bowl. Chill mixture in the refrigerator for 5 minutes.
- Add Cool Whip. Fold the Cool Whip into the pudding until just combined.
- Assemble. Divide the pudding between your 8 serving cups and top each cup with crushed Oreos, or layer the pudding and crushed Oreo for a fun look!

- Top and serve! Garnish the top of each pudding account with 3-4 gummy worms before serving, enjoy!
Pudding cups are good for up to 2 – 3 days. Make sure you cover them tightly and store them in the refrigerator.
Keep in mind that the cookie crumbs will soften the longer they sit in the fridge. And I also recommend not adding the gummy worms until you are ready to serve as those will harden in the fridge.
You can use the sugar free/fat free pudding mixes.
You can also use the lite or fat free Cool Whip.
