Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven as per the brownie mix package instructions, typically around 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish lightly.
  2. Prepare brownie batter according to package directions and bake for 20-25 minutes until the edges are set and center is soft. Cool completely in the dish before crumbling.
  3. Whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix with 2 cups of cold milk for about 2 minutes until thickened. Set aside.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing until no lumps remain.
  5. Gently fold in thawed whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until combined.
  6. Crumble completely cooled brownies into small pieces, reserving larger chunks for topping.
  7. Crush chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs, using a rolling pin or food processor.
  8. In a serving bowl or individual cups, layer crumbled brownies, cream cheese mixture, chocolate pudding, and cookie crumbs. Repeat layers finishing with cookie crumbs.
  9. Press colorful gummy worms into the top layer of cookie crumbs, cover with plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

Notes

Ensure brownies are completely cooled before crumbling to avoid a mushy texture. Don't overwhip the whipped topping to maintain airy quality.
