Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Pudding Layer
- 8 ounces prepared chocolate pudding
Toppings and Decorations
- 2 tablespoons chocolate graham cracker crumbs or Oreo cookie crumbs
- 1 Milano cookie
- Chocolate frosting, for piping
- 1 marshmallow ghost
- 3 candy pumpkins
Instructions
- Prepare Pudding Cups: Place the prepared chocolate pudding into a clear plastic cup, filling it almost to the top.
- Add Crumbs: Sprinkle the chocolate graham cracker or Oreo cookie crumbs evenly over the pudding to resemble dirt.
- Create Headstone: Using chocolate frosting with a small decorating tip or a plastic bag with the corner snipped off, pipe the letters “RIP” onto the Milano cookie to serve as the graveyard headstone.
- Assemble Decoration: Arrange the decorated Milano cookie upright in the pudding cup along with the marshmallow ghost and candy pumpkins to create the graveyard scene.
- Serve or Store: Serve the pudding cups immediately or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before serving.
Notes
- Scale the recipe up or down depending on how many pudding cups you want to make.
- If using small prepared pudding cups, about 2 cups are needed to fill each 9-ounce plastic cup.
- For extra spooky fun, add gummy worms, candy spiders, or other Halloween-themed candies on top.
- Serve immediately for best texture, as cookies may get soggy and marshmallows dry out when refrigerated longer than 24 hours.
