Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups milk (whole milk or dairy-free alternative)
- 10 chocolate sandwich cookies (e.g., Oreos), crushed
- Gummy worms
- 6 rectangular cookies (e.g., graham crackers or Milano cookies)
- Writing icing
- Optional decorations: candy pumpkins, candy eyeballs, edible glitter
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mix and milk according to the package instructions. Let the pudding set for about 5 minutes.
- Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a Ziploc bag and crush them using a rolling pin until they resemble fine dirt. Set aside.
- Using writing icing, decorate the rectangular cookies with spooky phrases like ‘RIP,’ ‘Boo,’ or ‘Stay Spooky.’ Let the icing dry before assembling.
- Spoon a layer of pudding into the bottom of each cup. Add a generous sprinkle of crushed cookies on top to create the ‘dirt.’ Nestle a few gummy worms into the dirt for a creepy effect.
- Stick the decorated cookies upright into the pudding to resemble gravestones. Press gently so they stay in place.
- Add optional decorations like candy pumpkins, eyeballs, or edible glitter for extra spooky flair.
- Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving for a firmer texture.
