- 1 box instant chocolate pudding mix 3.4 ounces
- 1 box instant vanilla pudding mix 3.4 ounces
Decorations & Mix-ins
- Orange food coloring (see Notes)
- 1 cup gummy worms
- 22 Oreo cookies crushed
- 24 pumpkin candies
- 2 tablespoons bone sprinkles optional
Instructions
- Prepare Puddings: Use milk to prepare each box of instant pudding separately according to package instructions and chill in the refrigerator until set.
- Color Vanilla Pudding: Add a few drops of orange food coloring to the vanilla pudding and stir well. Add additional drops gradually to achieve the desired vibrant orange hue.
- Layer Chocolate Pudding: Divide half of the chocolate pudding evenly into serving glasses, spreading it carefully at the bottom of each.
- Add Gummy Worms: Place gummy worms over the chocolate pudding layer in each glass.
- Sprinkle Oreos: Sprinkle one-third of the crushed Oreo cookies over the gummy worms.
- Layer Orange Pudding: Spoon half of the orange-colored vanilla pudding over the cookie layer and spread evenly. Reserve the remaining orange pudding for another use.
- Sprinkle Oreos Again: Add another one-third of crushed Oreos over the orange pudding in each glass.
- Add Remaining Chocolate Pudding: Divide the remaining chocolate pudding evenly over the Oreos and smooth the tops.
- Final Oreo Layer: Sprinkle the remaining crushed Oreos on top of the chocolate pudding layer.
- Decorate Cups: Place three candy pumpkins on top of each glass and optionally decorate with bone sprinkles for a spooky finishing touch.
Notes
- If you don’t have orange food coloring, create orange by mixing four drops of red food coloring with five drops of yellow food coloring. For gel food coloring, use less and add gradually while stirring until your desired color is reached.
- You can prepare the puddings a few hours ahead and assemble just before serving to keep the textures fresh.
- Bone sprinkles are optional but add a nice Halloween aesthetic if available.
