Instructions
  1. Crush chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or zip-top bag and rolling pin.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the cookie crumbs and melted butter. Mix well to combine.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  4. Layer the cookie crumb mixture into small cups or glasses, pressing down gently to create a 'dirt' base.
  5. Spoon the chocolate pudding over the cookie crumb layer.
  6. Top with the cream cheese mixture, spreading it evenly.
  7. Decorate with gummy worms, plastic spiders, and chocolate shavings (optional).
  8. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use chocolate-covered sandwich cookies. You can also add other Halloween-themed candies as desired.
