Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Pudding
- 1 box chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk (for pudding preparation)
Toppings and Layers
- 1 cup brownie pieces
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- ½ cup Nestle Jumbo Variety Bag of mini Halloween candy (Butterfinger, Crunch, Baby Ruth), chopped finely
- 2 tablespoons Halloween sprinkles
- 4-6 marshmallow ghosts
Instructions
- Prepare the pudding: Follow the directions on the chocolate pudding mix box, whisking the pudding mix with cold milk until smooth. Refrigerate the pudding for at least 30 minutes until it sets and thickens.
- Chop Halloween candy: Finely chop the Nestle Halloween candy assortment (Butterfinger, Crunch, Baby Ruth) and set aside for garnish and layering.
- Assemble the parfaits: In clear glasses or cups, layer the brownie pieces, mini marshmallows, and Halloween sprinkles. Fill the remainder of the glass with the chilled, set chocolate pudding, leaving some space at the top.
- Top the parfaits: Sprinkle the chopped Halloween candies over the pudding layer and place one marshmallow ghost on top of each parfait for a spooky festive finish.
- Serve chilled: Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. These parfaits are best enjoyed within a few hours for optimal freshness.
Notes
- Use store-bought brownies or bake your own for the brownie pieces.
- The amount of candy and toppings can be adjusted based on preference and number of servings.
- Marshmallow ghosts can be replaced with other Halloween-themed decorations or gummy candies.
- For a lighter option, consider using sugar-free pudding mix or low-fat milk.
- Assemble just before serving to keep marshmallows from getting soggy.
