1 (20 oz.) pkg. chocolate-sandwich cookies (Oreos or Hydrox)
2 semi-sweet or milk chocolate candy bars (about 3 oz. each), broken or chopped into rough chunks
1/2 c. butter, softened
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
1 c. powdered sugar
2 (4 oz.) pkgs. instant chocolate pudding and pie filling mix
3 c. milk
1 (8 oz.) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
Gummy Worms (to taste)
Candy pebbles (to taste)

Crush the cookies in a food processor or blender. Add the chocolate pieces to the cookie crumbs.

In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, cream cheese and powdered sugar, beating with an electric mixer until smooth, about 2 minutes.

In another bowl, combine pudding mix and milk. Beat until it begins to thicken, about 2 minutes. Fold in the whipped topping. Combine the pudding and butter mixtures, blending well.

Place a third of the cookie and candy mixture into the bottom of the cake pan, adding a couple gummy worms for good measure. Add half of the filling mixture, then another third of the cookie and candy mixture, a few more gummy worms, the remaining filling mixture, and top with the remaining cookie and candy mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. When ready to serve, garnish with more gummy worms and candy pebbles.

Spoon this soft dessert onto plates.
