- 1 box instant vanilla pudding mix 3.4 ounces
- Orange food coloring, as needed
Toppings and Decorations
- 1 cup gummy worms
- 22 Oreo cookies crushed
- 24 pumpkin candies
- 2 tablespoons bone sprinkles, optional
Instructions
- Prepare puddings: Use the milk to prepare and chill each box of pudding in separate bowls according to package instructions.
- Color vanilla pudding: Add a few drops of orange food coloring to the vanilla pudding and stir. Gradually add more drops to achieve the desired orange color.
- Layer chocolate pudding: Divide half of the chocolate pudding evenly into the bottom of each glass.
- Add gummy worms: Distribute the gummy worms over the chocolate pudding layer in each glass.

- Add orange pudding layer: Divide half of the orange-colored vanilla pudding over the crushed Oreos and spread evenly. Reserve the other half of vanilla pudding for another use.

- Top with Oreos: Sprinkle the remaining crushed Oreos over the last chocolate pudding layer.
- Decorate: Place three pumpkin candies on top of each glass and optionally decorate with bone sprinkles.
Notes
- If orange food coloring is not available, mix four drops of red food coloring with five drops of yellow food coloring to make orange. Use gel food coloring sparingly as it is more concentrated.
- Add food coloring gradually and stir to achieve the desired shade without over-coloring.
- This recipe serves 8 cups and is best served chilled.
- You can substitute gummy worms with other Halloween-themed candies if preferred.
- Bone sprinkles are optional but add a spooky decorative touch.
