Ingredients

½ cup cornstarch

⅔ cup sugar

6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

½ teaspoon salt

8 ounces chocolate (gently melted in a double boiler or in microwave at 50% power, stirring frequently)

3 teaspoons vanilla extract

14 ounces chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed

1 pound gummy worms

Shortbread cookies (like ladyfingers) and decorative frosting (optional)

Directions

whisk: In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the cornstarch, sugar, cocoa powder and salt. Whisk in the milk until fully incorporated.

light boil: Bring milk mixture to a light boil over medium heat. Cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens to your desired consistency, about 5 to 9 more minutes. If mixture is not thickening to your liking, add cornstarch 1 tablespoon at a time until your desired consistency is reached. (Pudding will also thicken further upon chilling.)

pour: When desired consistency is reached, remove saucepan from the heat. While whisking quickly, add the melted chocolate and vanilla. Immediately pour into a single serving bowl or into individual cups.

chill: Generously top pudding with crushed cookies and arrange gummy worms on top. Chill until ready to serve.

optional: Optional kid-friendly activity: To make a fairy garden or Halloween graveyard, decorate shortbread cookies (like ladyfingers) as rocks, trees, flowers, and/or creepy headstones and perch them in your dirt pudding creation.
