Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Decorations
- ⅔ cup white chocolate melted
- ½ cup black candy melts melted
- 6 Milano cookies
Pudding
- 1 (3.9 ounce) box instant chocolate pudding mix
- 1 ¾ cups cold milk
- ½ – 1 cup crushed Oreos
- Halloween sprinkles optional
Instructions
- Melt and shape ghosts: Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl by heating in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Drop heaped spoonfuls onto a parchment-lined tray. Use the back of the spoon to drag the bottom of dollops down to create ghost shapes. Use a toothpick to pull out chocolate on each side to form arms if desired. Refrigerate until set.
- Decorate ghosts: Melt black candy melts according to package directions. Transfer to a piping bag with small tip and pipe eyes and mouths onto the white chocolate ghosts. Let them harden fully.
- Create trees and tombstones: With remaining black candy melts, pipe spooky tree shapes onto parchment paper, ensuring a thick base as an anchor. Let set completely. Pipe inscriptions onto Milano cookies with melted black candy to mimic tombstones.
- Prepare pudding: In a large bowl, whisk instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk together until smooth. Let sit for a few minutes to thicken.
- Assemble pudding cups: Layer pudding at the bottom of each serving cup, followed by crushed Oreos. Repeat layers ending with Oreos on top. Refrigerate for 1 hour to set.
- Decorate and serve: Just before serving, gently press a Milano cookie tombstone into each cup, place a white chocolate ghost beside it, and add a tree at the back. Sprinkle Halloween sprinkles on top if desired. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Store pudding cups covered well with plastic wrap or airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Keep decorations separate from pudding until ready to serve to preserve texture.
- Adjust amount of crushed Oreos according to preferred layering thickness.
- Use toothpicks carefully when shaping ghosts to avoid breaking the chocolate.
