Equipment

1 Wilton skull shaped cake pan
3 Mixing bowl(s)
1 Measuring cup
1 Whisk
1 Spoon/offset spatula for spreading
1 Spoon for serving

Ingredients

24 Oreos 1 package
5.9 ounces chocolate pudding mix 1 package
3 cups milk
24 gummy worms for garnish

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate pudding mix and milk.
Whisk until incorporated and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Meanwhile, crush the chocolate sandwich cookies.
When the chocolate pudding is thickened and set, remove it from the refrigerator and spoon half of it into the bottom of your cake pan. Spread the pudding out into an even layer.
Spoon half of the crushed cookies over the pudding layer.
Repeat the process with the remaining pudding and then top with the remaining cookie crumbs.
Place the gummy worms into the dirt pudding, scattering them strategically to make it look like the skull is infested with worms.
Scoop and serve cold with extra worms as garnish, if desired.
