Place the Oreos in a food processor and process until they become crumbs, set aside.
14.3 ounce package of regular Oreos
Place the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl. Whip with an electric hand mixer to stiff peaks, do not overmix. Set aside.
2 tablespoons powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
In a large bowl, whisk together the milk and chocolate pudding mix for 2 minutes until thickened.
2 cups whole milk, 3.9 ounce package instant chocolate pudding mix
Add the whipped cream to the pudding and fold it in until there are no streaks.
1 cup heavy whipping cream
Place 9 9 ounce or similar size disposable cups or glass jars on your work surface.
Place 2 tablespoons of the cookie crumbs on the bottom. Add just under ¼ cup of the pudding mixture on top of the cookie crumbs. Repeat 1 more time, then top them all off with the remaining cookie crumbs.

Garnish with gummi worms and serve

Use a food processor to crush the Oreos into fine crumbs fast—no mess.
No food processor? Put the cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
Whip the cream until it holds peaks but don’t overmix—it can turn into butter!
Layer gently so the pudding and cookies don’t mix together too much.
Use clear cups so you can see the pretty layers—it adds to the fun!
Make smaller servings if you’re feeding a group of younger kids—this recipe easily stretches to 18 individual cups.
