  3. In a separate bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  4. Layer the cookie crumbs in small cups or glasses, pressing down gently to form a base.
  5. Spoon the chocolate pudding over the cookie crumb layer.
  6. Top with the cream cheese frosting, spreading evenly.
  7. Decorate with gummy worms, plastic spiders, and chocolate shavings (if using).
  8. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to chill.

For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate sandwich cookies. You can also add other Halloween-themed candies for extra decoration.
