Ingredients
-
- 3 cups cold milk
- 2 (3.9 oz) boxes instant chocolate pudding mix
- 1 (8 oz) container whipped topping (Cool Whip or whipped cream), softened
- 20 chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos), crushed
- 8 Milano cookies or similar flat cookies (for gravestones)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional, for decorating)
- 1 tsp coconut oil (optional, for decorating)
- Gummy worms
- Bone-shaped sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Whisk cold milk with chocolate pudding mix in a large bowl until smooth. Chill for 10 minutes until thickened.
- Fold in whipped topping until fully combined.
- Divide pudding mixture evenly into 8 clear party cups. Chill for 20 minutes.
- Crush chocolate cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or zip-top bag.
- Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil and pipe designs (like RIP or crosses) onto Milano cookies for gravestones. Chill for 5–10 minutes to set.
- Sprinkle crushed cookies over pudding cups to resemble dirt.
- Insert decorated gravestone cookies into each cup.
- Add gummy worms, bone sprinkles, or other spooky toppings. Serve chilled.
Notes
- Add a bottom layer of cookie crumbs before pudding for extra crunch.
- Swap in vanilla or white chocolate pudding for a lighter look.
- Use store-bought gel frosting instead of melted chocolate for decorating gravestones.
- Make mini versions in 2.5-ounce cups for party-sized servings.
- Wait to add cookie crumbs and toppings until serving so they don’t get soggy.
