Ingredients

3 oz bourbon
3 oz crème de cacao liqueur
3 oz heavy cream
1 tbsp cocoa powder
2 dash chocolate bitters optional
6-8 tbsp crushed chocolate cookies
4 vodka gummy worms or regular gummy worms
2 mint sprigs for garnish
Edible flowers for garnish
Whipped cream for garnish

Instructions

In a cocktail shaker with ice, add the bourbon, creme de cacao, heavy cream, chocolate bitters (optional), and cocoa powder. Shake well until chilled.
Strain the cocktail pudding mixture into glasses.
Add a layer of whipped cream to the glass, just below the rim, being sure to cover the pudding.
Layer crushed cookie crumbs over the whipped cream.
Garnish with mint sprigs and edible flowers. Insert gummy worms into the cookie crumbs so they appear to be coming out of the "dirt".

Notes

To enjoy as a non-alcoholic milkshake beverage: In a blender, mix 1 cup of milk, 4 tablespoons of sugar and 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder. Then, add 4 cups of vanilla ice cream and blend until well combined.
