  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 6 to 8 small jars 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 package Instant Chocolate Pudding Mix (3.4 oz)
  • 2 cups cold Milk
  • 15–20 Chocolate Sandwich Cookies, crushed
  • Optional: Vanilla or Chocolate Wafers (for added flavor or substitute)
  • Whipped Cream (for topping)
  • Gummy Worms (for decoration)
  • Mini Candy Eggs or Sprinkles (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pudding: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix with 2 cups of cold milk until thickened, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
  2. Crush the Cookies: Place chocolate sandwich cookies or wafers in a sealed plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin until fine, crumbly, and dirt-like in texture.
  3. Layer the Jars: Spoon a layer of cookie crumbs into the bottom of each jar, followed by a generous layer of pudding. Repeat to create at least two layers, finishing with a top layer of cookie crumbs.
  4. Add Whipped Cream and Toppings: Add a dollop of whipped cream on top of each jar, then decorate with gummy worms, mini candy eggs, or colorful sprinkles to create a festive Easter look.
  5. Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate the jars for at least 30 minutes to allow the pudding to set and the flavors to meld before serving.

Notes

  • Use cold milk to help the pudding thicken quickly and achieve the best texture.
  • Layer neatly using a piping bag or spoon for clean, visually appealing layers.
  • Avoid too much cookie crumb layer to maintain a good balance of creamy pudding and crunchy texture.
  • Small mason jars or clear cups are ideal for portion control and presentation.
  • Chill jars properly to deepen flavors and firm up the dessert.
  • Add toppings just before serving to keep gummy worms and sprinkles fresh and colorful.
