Ingredients
Scale
Decorations
- ⅔ cup white chocolate, melted
- ½ cup black candy melts, melted
- 6 Milano cookies
- Halloween sprinkles, optional
Pudding
- 1 (3.9 ounce) box instant chocolate pudding mix
- 1 ¾ cups cold milk
- ½ – 1 cup crushed Oreos
Instructions
- Create White Chocolate Ghosts: Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl by heating in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Drop heaped spoonfuls onto a parchment-lined tray, dragging the bottoms with the back of a spoon to form ghost shapes. Use a toothpick to pull out portions on each side to create ghostly arms. Refrigerate until set.
- Decorate Ghosts: Melt the black candy melts following package instructions. Transfer to a piping bag with a small tip and pipe eyes and mouths onto the white chocolate ghosts. Set aside to harden completely.
- Create Candy Trees and Tombstones: Using the remaining black candy melts, pipe spooky tree shapes on parchment paper with thicker bases to anchor them; let set. Pipe inscriptions onto the Milano cookies with melted black candy to resemble tombstones.
- Prepare Pudding: In a large bowl, whisk the instant chocolate pudding mix with cold milk until smooth. Let it sit for a few minutes to thicken.
- Assemble Pudding Cups: In each serving cup, add a bottom layer of pudding, followed by crushed Oreos. Repeat with another pudding layer and finish with crushed Oreos. Refrigerate for about one hour to allow pudding to set.
- Decorate Cups: Before serving, gently press a Milano cookie tombstone into each cup, place a white chocolate ghost next to it, and position a candy tree at the back. Sprinkle with Halloween sprinkles if desired.
- Serve: Serve the decorated pudding cups chilled and enjoy the spooky, sweet treat.
Notes
- Store assembled pudding cups covered in plastic wrap or airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Keep the white chocolate ghosts, candy trees, and decorated tombstones separate until ready to serve to maintain their shape and texture.
- You can substitute Milano cookies with any other thin chocolate cookies if preferred.
- For a stronger chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate candy melts instead of black.
- Use full-fat milk for creamier pudding; however, low-fat milk will also work.
