Dirt Dessert Recipe

In a large bowl, whisk together the 2 packages of vanilla pudding mix with the 1 1/4 cups of milk until the mixture is smooth and starting to thicken. Add the 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1 1/2 cups of confectionery sugar, 1 cup of softened butter, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, then whip until everything is light and creamy.

Gently fold in the 12 ounces of whipped topping until just combined, taking care not to deflate the mixture. Meanwhile, finely crush the 2 pounds of chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor until they resemble dark soil.

To assemble, grab your serving jars or a large trifle dish. Start with a layer of crushed cookies on the bottom, then add a layer of the creamy pudding mixture, and scatter some gummy worms. Repeat these layers until all ingredients are used, making sure the final top layer is crushed cookies, like freshly turned earth.
