Main Ingredients
- 8 ounces prepared chocolate pudding
- 2 tablespoons chocolate graham cracker crumbs
- 1 Milano cookie
- Chocolate frosting, for piping
- 1 marshmallow ghost
- 3 candy pumpkins
Instructions
- Prepare pudding: Place the prepared chocolate pudding into a clear plastic cup almost to the top.
- Add crumbs: Sprinkle the chocolate graham cracker crumbs evenly over the top of the pudding to resemble dirt.
- Decorate cookie: Using chocolate frosting with a small decorating tip or a plastic bag with a corner snipped off, pipe the letters “RIP” onto the Milano cookie to create the headstone.
- Assemble decorations: Arrange the Milano cookie, marshmallow ghost, and candy pumpkins carefully in the cup to create the ‘graveyard’ look.
- Serve or store: Serve immediately, or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before serving.
- Repeat: Repeat these steps to assemble additional pudding cups as needed.
Notes
- Scale the recipe to create the desired number of pudding cups for your group.
- For small prepared pudding cups, you will need about 2 cups to fill each 9-ounce plastic cup adequately.
- Add gummy worms, candy spiders, or other Halloween-themed candies for extra spooky fun.
- The pudding cups can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, but the cookies may become soggy and marshmallows may dry out over time.
- Serve chilled for best taste and texture.
