Ingredients
- Chocolate Cake Mix: 1 box (plus ingredients called for on box)
- Pistachio Pudding Mix: 1 (3.4 ounce) box
- Milk: 2 cups
- Cool Whip: 1 (8 ounce) container, thawed
- Green Food Coloring: 10-15 drops
- Chocolate Sandwich Cookies: 1 package (crushed)
- Gummy Worms: 1 package
Instructions
- Step 1: Bake the chocolate cake according to package directions. Let cool completely, then crumble into small pieces.
- Step 2: Prepare the pistachio pudding according to package directions, using the milk. Stir in the green food coloring until desired color is achieved.
- Step 3: In small trifle bowls or clear cups, layer the crumbled chocolate cake, then the green pistachio pudding, and then a layer of Cool Whip.
- Step 4: Sprinkle crushed chocolate sandwich cookies on top of the Cool Whip layer to resemble dirt.
- Step 5: Garnish each trifle with a few gummy worms, strategically placed to look like they are crawling out of the "dirt".
Notes
- Keep the assembled trifles chilled until ready to serve, as the Cool Whip softens quickly at room temperature.
- These are best enjoyed cold, so there is no need to reheat them.
- Serve these spooky trifles in clear glasses to showcase the eerie layers.
- For extra "dirt" texture, pulse some of the crushed chocolate cookies in a food processor for a finer crumb.
