Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Base
- 1 box brownie mix (plus ingredients listed on package)
Pudding Mixture
- 2 packages (3.9 ounces each) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 3 1/2 cups cold milk
- 1 container (8 ounces) whipped topping, thawed
Toppings and Garnishes
- 1 package (14 ounces) Oreo cookies, crushed
- Gummy worms for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Brownies: Preheat your oven and bake the brownies in a 9×13-inch pan according to the package directions. Once baked, allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting them into small cubes to create a perfect base for the dessert layers.
- Make the Pudding: In a large bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mixes with cold milk until the mixture thickens, which should take about 2 minutes. Then gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring an airy texture for the dessert.
- Assemble Layers: In a trifle dish or a large glass bowl, start by layering half of the brownie cubes, followed by half of the chocolate pudding mixture, and then half of the crushed Oreo cookies. Repeat these layers once more, finishing with a generous sprinkle of crushed Oreos on the top to resemble dirt.
- Garnish and Chill: Decorate the top of the dessert by pushing gummy worms slightly into the Oreo “dirt” layers to add a playful look. Refrigerate the assembled pudding for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld and the dessert to set properly.
Notes
- You can substitute homemade brownies and pudding mixes if preferred for a more personalized taste.
- For extra chocolate flavor, add chocolate chips to the brownie batter or drizzle hot fudge sauce between the layers.
- Individual cups or small jars work wonderfully for serving at parties and are especially kid-friendly.
