- 3 1/2 cups cold milk
- 12 oz whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
- Gummy worms (optional, for decoration)

- Crush Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and smashing with a rolling pin. Set aside.

- In a separate bowl, whisk together vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until thickened.
- Fold whipped topping into the pudding mixture until fully combined.
