About the Recipe
Desserts are where you can have the most fun with Halloween themes. These Graveyard Chocolate Pudding Cups are not only adorable but really easy to make. Kids love decorating their own graveyards, making it a great interactive treat.
Ingredients
2 cups chocolate pudding (homemade instant pudding works well or store-bought)
1 package Oreo biscuits (crushed to resemble dirt)
1 package shortbread or Tennis biscuits (for tombstones)
Gummy worms, candy pumpkins, and Halloween-themed sprinkles for decoration
Icing or edible marker in your choice of colour (to write on the tombstones)
Preparation
Make the pudding: If you need to make the pudding, use instant pudding which sets within 5-10 minutes minutes.
Prepare the “dirt”: Place the Oreos in a resealable plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin until they resemble dirt.
Assemble the pudding cups: Divide the chocolate pudding into individual serving cups or small bowls.
Add the dirt: Sprinkle a generous layer of crushed Oreos over the top of each pudding cup to create the graveyard dirt.
Make the tombstones: Take the shortbread or Tennis biscuits and use icing or an edible marker to write “RIP” or other spooky sayings on them. Stick each cookie into the pudding to resemble a tombstone.
Decorate: Add gummy worms crawling out of the dirt, candy pumpkins, and any Halloween-themed sprinkles to complete the look.
Serve: Chill the cups in the fridge until you’re ready to serve. Guests can dig into their own personalized edible graveyard!
Tip: For a gory twist, add red jelly or strawberry sauce inside the pudding to look like blood oozing from the grave when eaten.
