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 While pudding chills, crush cookies in a ziplock back using a rolling pin until they look like dirt.****
7 To assemble, spoon a layer of pudding in the cup, top with a layer of crushed cookies, repeat the process once more.
8 Garnish with gummy worms so they look like they’re crawling out of the “dirt.” Serve and enjoy!
