Ingredients
Scale
Decorations
- ⅔ cup white chocolate, melted
- ½ cup black candy melts, melted
- 6 Milano cookies
- Halloween sprinkles, optional
Pudding Cups
- 1 (3.9 ounce) box instant chocolate pudding mix
- 1 ¾ cups cold milk
- ½ – 1 cup crushed Oreos
Instructions
- Melt white chocolate: Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 20-second intervals and stirring until smooth. Drop heaped spoonfuls onto a parchment-lined tray and drag the bottom of the dollops down to shape ghosts. Use a toothpick to pull the chocolate out to create arms if desired. Refrigerate to set.
- Decorate ghosts: Melt the black candy melts according to package directions. Transfer to a piping bag with a small tip and pipe eyes and mouths onto the white chocolate ghosts. Set aside to fully harden.
- Create trees and tombstones: Pipe spooky tree shapes with the remaining black candy melts onto parchment paper, making a thicker base for stability. Allow trees to set completely. Pipe inscriptions onto Milano cookies with melted black candy to create tombstones.
- Prepare pudding: In a large bowl, whisk instant chocolate pudding mix with cold milk until smooth. Let the pudding sit for a few minutes to thicken.
- Assemble pudding cups: Layer pudding at the bottom of each serving cup, add crushed Oreos, then another pudding layer, finishing with Oreos. Refrigerate for 1 hour to set.
- Serve: Press a Milano cookie tombstone into each cup, place a white chocolate ghost beside it, and add a tree at the back. Sprinkle with Halloween sprinkles if desired. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Store pudding cups covered with plastic wrap or airtight container in refrigerator up to 3 days.
- Keep decorations separate from pudding cups until ready to serve to maintain texture.
- Use a piping bag with a fine tip for precise decorating with black candy melts.
- White chocolate ghosts can be made a day ahead and refrigerated to save prep time on party day.
- Adjust crushed Oreo quantity based on desired cookie layer thickness.
