Create fun and spooky graveyard pudding cups for a Halloween party. These individual chocolate desserts feature crushed cookie ‘dirt’ and cookie tombstones.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 package (14.3 oz) chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos)
  • 12 oval-shaped cookies (like Milano or Nilla wafers)
  • Black decorating icing
  • Gummy worms (optional)
  • Candy pumpkins (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pudding: Whisk the instant chocolate pudding mix and milk in a bowl until thickened, about 2 minutes. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
  2. Make the ‘dirt’: Crush the chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
  3. Assemble the cups: Spoon the chocolate pudding into 6 individual serving cups or small bowls.
  4. Add the ‘dirt’: Sprinkle a generous layer of the crushed cookie crumbs over the pudding in each cup.
  5. Create the tombstones: Use the black decorating icing to write ‘RIP’ on each oval cookie.
  6. Place the tombstones: Gently insert one decorated cookie into the ‘dirt’ of each pudding cup, standing it upright.
  7. Add decorations: If desired, add gummy worms crawling out of the ‘dirt’ or place candy pumpkins around the tombstones.
  8. Chill: For best results, chill the graveyard pudding cups for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • If using homemade pudding, ensure it is completely cooled before assembling the cups.
  • Store gummy worms separately if refrigerating for an extended period to prevent them from becoming hard.
  • These cups are best assembled a few hours before serving to keep the cookie tombstones from softening too much.
