Ingredients
- 1 box (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 cup whipped topping (optional for extra creaminess)
- 18 chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos), crushed into crumbs
- 6 rectangular cookies (like Milano or Vienna fingers) for “tombstones”
- Black decorating gel (for writing on tombstones)
- Halloween candies (gummy worms, candy pumpkins, candy bones, etc.)
- 6 clear plastic cups or small glass jars
Instructions
- Make the Pudding: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk pudding mix with cold milk until smooth. Let it set for 5 minutes. Optional: fold in whipped topping for extra creaminess.
- Prepare Cookie Dirt: Place chocolate sandwich cookies in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin until fine crumbs form.
- Layer the Cups: Spoon pudding evenly into clear cups or jars, filling each about ⅔ full.
- Add the Dirt: Sprinkle a generous layer of cookie crumbs on top to resemble soil.
- Create Tombstones: Write “RIP” or spooky words on rectangular cookies using black decorating gel. Insert them into each cup to stand upright like tombstones.
- Decorate: Add gummy worms crawling out of the dirt, candy pumpkins, and any other Halloween-themed candies.
- Serve or Chill: These can be served right away or refrigerated for up to 2 hours before serving.
