For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate sandwich cookies. Garnish with additional cookie crumbs or chocolate shavings before serving. For a fun twist, layer the dessert with gummy worms or other candies to resemble mud and buried treasure.

Follow The Directions
01
StepGrind the Chocolate Cookies: In a food processor, pulse the chocolate sandwich cookies until they are finely ground into a consistent crumb. Set aside. (Approximately 5 minutes)
02
StepPrepare the Pudding: In a large bowl, whisk together the milk and instant vanilla pudding mix until smooth and free of any lumps. Allow the mixture to slightly thicken as it sits. (Approximately 2 minutes preparation, plus 5 minutes resting)
03
StepCream the Cheese: In a separate bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the softened cream cheese and margarine until light and fluffy. This ensures a smooth and creamy base for the dessert. (Approximately 3-5 minutes)
04
StepCombine the Wet Ingredients: Gradually incorporate the prepared pudding into the cream cheese mixture, mixing until well combined. (Approximately 2 minutes)
05
StepFold in the Crumbs and Topping: Gently fold in the crushed chocolate cookie crumbs and thawed whipped topping until everything is evenly distributed. Be careful not to overmix, to keep the texture light. (Approximately 3 minutes)
06
StepChill: Spoon the mixture into a clean plastic sand bucket. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set. (30 minutes minimum, longer is better)
