Combine. Pour the creamy chocolate pudding into the cool whip mixture, and combine again until very well combined. The pudding mixture should be thick.

Notes

Storing

If you’re making these in advance, wait to add the gummy worms and edible eyes until serving.
You can also make the pudding and keep it chilled. Then assemble right before party time.
These stay well in the refrigerator (before adding worms and edible eyes) for up to four days.

Pro-Tip: Use clear jars or smaller cups for serving. You'll want to clearly see the pudding and Oreo layers.
