Instructions
1
Gather all your ingredients.
2
In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch and salt.
3
Slowly whisk in the milk a little at a time until smooth and no lumps remain.
4
Place over medium heat and stir constantly. Cook 8-10 minutes until the mixture starts to bubble and visibly thickens. Let it simmer for 1–2 minutes more to fully activate the cornstarch.**
5
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Pour into a large bowl (or directly into serving cups). Cover with plastic wrap against pudding to prevent a skin from developing and chill for at least 1 hour or until cool and set.***
6
Crush cookies
7
While pudding chills, crush cookies in a ziplock back using a rolling pin until they look like dirt.****

Add gummy worms
10
Garnish with gummy worms so they look like they’re crawling out of the “dirt.” Serve and enjoy!
