Ingredients
  

1 package (15.25 oz) chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos)

1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

2 (3.4 oz) packages instant chocolate pudding mix

4 cups milk

1 (12 oz) container whipped topping (like Cool Whip)

1 cup gummy worms (optional, for decoration)

Decorative flower pot (optional, for serving)

Additional chocolate cookie crumbs (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Crush Cookies: In a food processor, blend the chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs. Reserve about 1 cup of crumbs for garnishing.

    Make Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and mix until smooth and fluffy.

      Prepare the Pudding: In another bowl, combine the instant chocolate pudding mix and milk. Whisk for about 2 minutes or until the pudding thickens.

        Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the prepared pudding into the cream cheese mixture. Then, carefully fold in the whipped topping until well combined.

          Layer the Cake: In a large trifle bowl or decorative flower pot, layer the dessert as follows: start with a layer of cookie crumbs (about 1/3), followed by a layer of the cream cheese-pudding mixture (about 1/2 the mixture), then repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with the cookie crumbs on top.

            Decorate: Scatter gummy worms on top of the final layer for a fun, dirt-like effect. Use additional chocolate cookies crumbs to enhance the dirt look.

              Chill: Cover the dessert with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.

                Serve: Once chilled, dig in with a spoon. Optionally, serve in flower pots for added flare and springtime charm!
