Ingredients
1 package (14.3 oz) chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos)
2 packages (3.9 oz each) instant chocolate pudding mix
4 cups cold whole milk
1 container (8 oz) whipped topping, thawed
1 package gummy worms
6–8 rectangular shortbread cookies (for tombstones)
Black edible ink marker or melted chocolate (for writing on tombstones)
Instructions
Step 1: Place the chocolate sandwich cookies into a large zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin until they resemble coarse dirt. Set aside.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and the cold milk for about 2 minutes until thickened.
Step 3: Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the chocolate pudding until no white streaks remain and the mixture is light and fluffy.
Step 4: In individual clear cups or jars, layer 2 tablespoons of cookie crumbs at the bottom, followed by a layer of the pudding mixture. Repeat layers until the cups are nearly full, ending with a layer of cookie ‘dirt’.
Step 5: Use an edible marker to write ‘RIP’ on the shortbread cookies and stick them into the top of each parfait. Garnish with gummy worms and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes
For a firmer set, use 3.5 cups of milk instead of 4. You can also add a layer of chocolate ganache for extra richness.
