Instructions
Crust Preparation
- Begin by crushing the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a resealable bag and smashing them with a rolling pin.
- Mix these crumbs with the melted butter until fully combined.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a pie dish to create a sturdy crust.
Pudding Mixture
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the chocolate pudding mix and cold milk.
- Continue stirring for about 2 minutes until the mixture thickens to a creamy consistency.
Fold in Whipped Topping
- Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the pudding mixture to give your filling a light and airy texture. Be careful not to overmix.
Assemble the Pie
- Pour the chocolate pudding mixture into the prepared Oreo crust, spreading it evenly.
- Generously sprinkle Oreo crumbs over the top of the pudding layer.
- Place gummy worms strategically on top for decoration.
Chill
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours to allow it to set properly.
