Graveyard Pudding Cups are a fun and spooky dessert, perfect for Halloween or themed parties. These layered treats start with a base of creamy chocolate or vanilla pudding, topped with crushed chocolate cookies to resemble “dirt.” Gummy worms, candy tombstones, and other Halloween-themed candy decorations are added to complete the eerie graveyard scene. Best served in clear cups to showcase the layered effect, Graveyard Pudding Cups are a playful and creative way to enjoy a sweet treat while adding a touch of festive fun to any gathering.
Graveyard Pudding Cups
Ingredients
- 1 pack of Chocolate cookies
- 1 cup Instant chocolate pudding mix
- Cookies for decoration
- Gummy worms for decoration
- Chocolate drops for decoration
- Jelly eyes for decoration
- Black food coloring gel
- 2 cups of milk
Instructions
- Crush your favorite chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs. The more crumbs, the better to create that authentic “dirt” look.
- Using food coloring or a food-safe edible ink marker, write “RIP” on your tombstone-shaped cookies. Give a few white chocolate drops a spooky makeover by adding black dots to create “eyes.”
- Begin assembling your graveyard dessert cups. Start by adding a layer of cookie crumbs to the bottom of each cup. Sprinkle in a few of your creepy white chocolate “eyes” for added spookiness.
- Pour your homemade pudding (or use store-bought) over the cookie crumb base. You’ll need about 2 cups of milk for a lighter pudding consistency.
- Spread another layer of crumbs over the pudding layer to create that eerie graveyard feel. Nestle a RIP cookie tombstone on top, and just before serving, add some gummy worms and a few more “eyes” to complete the look.
