Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package chocolate pudding mix prepared according to package instructions
  • 1 cup milk for pudding
  • 1 cup gummy worms for decoration
  • 6 tombs edible tombstone candies small, flat candies
  • optional handful chocolate cookie crumbs to mimic soil
  • 1 tablespoon melted white chocolate for fixing tombstones
  • as needed sprinkles or edible glitter for extra spooky effect

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Small piping bags or plastic sandwich bags
  • Serving cups or small clear containers
  • Baking Sheet

Method
 

  1. Prepare the chocolate pudding according to the package instructions, whisking until smooth and creamy. Chill the pudding in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to set.
  2. Spoon or pipe the chilled pudding into individual cups, filling each about three-quarters full to leave room for decorations.
  3. Sprinkle a thin layer of cookie crumbs on top of each pudding to resemble dirt or soil at the base of the graveyard scene.
  4. Place edible tombstone candies into the pudding, pressing them gently into the surface to look like gravestones protruding from the ground.
  5. Insert gummy worms around the tombstones and into the cookie crumb “soil,” giving a creepy crawling effect beneath the gravestones.
  6. Drizzle melted white chocolate over the tombstones or scatter edible glitter for a spooky shimmer. Use a small piping bag or plastic sandwich bag to pipe features or small decorations if desired.
  7. Finish by garnishing with additional sprinkles or edible glitter to enhance the eerie appearance of each graveyard scene.
  8. Chill the pudding cups for another 5-10 minutes to ensure everything sets, then serve immediately to enjoy the creepy, crunchy, and creamy textures.

Notes

Use small, flat candies for tombstones to make stacking and placing easier. Be creative with decorations, adding extra spooky elements like tiny plastic spiders or Halloween sprinkles for more impact.
