Equipment

  • 1 Food Processor or Blender
  • 1 Large Mixing Bowl
  • 1 spatula
  • 6 8oz clear cups

Ingredients

  • 3.4 oz packet vanilla pudding
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 9 oz cool whip softened
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3-5 drops of red food coloring
  • 1 14 oz package of oreos
  • 1 cup gummy worms
  • 1 cup white chocolate melting chips
  • Black piping gel
  • Optional toppings: eye ball sprinkles white chocolate ghosts, mini macarons

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese at medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute.
  • Sprinkle in the pudding packet and continue to beat this together for another 1 minute until combined.
  • Beat in the milk and food coloring and continue to mix until this is totally combined and smooth.
  • Fold in the softened cool whip and stir until the pudding mixture is pink all the way through.
  • In a food processor add the package of oreos and turn on. Let this run until the oreos turn into a sand-like texture and very finely ground.
  • Using cups, or a large trifle dish, begin by layering the oreo mixture followed by the pink filling, repeat this layering process until the 2 mixtures are completely used up and top with gummy worms.
  • If you are interested in topping them with white chocolate ghosts, in a microwave safe bowl melt the white chocolate 30 seconds at a time until melted and smooth.
  • On a piece of parchment, take a spoon full of the white chocolate, drop it on the parchment and with the back of the spoon, make a swiping down motion to create the ghost figure.
  • Let these set for about 10 minutes then add one or two dots of piping gel and stick on sprinkle eyeballs.
  • Top the dirt and worm cups (or trifle) with these decorations and enjoy!
