Total Time: 20 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 cups
Ingredients
- 1 package Oreos
- 2 cups chocolate pudding
- Whipped cream (for topping)
- Candy eyes
- Gummy worms
Instructions
- Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed plastic bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
- Divide the crushed Oreo crumbs evenly among 6 clear serving glasses or dessert cups, creating a base layer approximately 1/2 inch thick.
- Carefully pour prepared chocolate pudding over the Oreo crumb base, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
- Refrigerate the pudding cups for 10-15 minutes to allow the pudding to set slightly and become slightly firm.
- Remove cups from refrigerator and add a generous dollop of whipped cream on top of each pudding cup.
- Strategically place candy eyes on the whipped cream to create "monster" faces with different expressions.
- Drape gummy worms partially hanging over the edges of the cups and nestled into the whipped cream for a spooky effect.
- Optionally, sprinkle additional crushed Oreo crumbs around the edges for extra texture and Halloween-themed decoration.
- Chill the completed monster pudding cups for an additional 10 minutes before serving to ensure everything is cool and set.
Tips
- • To ensure your Oreo crumbs are evenly crushed, use a food processor or place them in a sealed plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin. • For an extra-spooky effect, experiment with different types of candy eyes and gummy worms to create unique monster faces. • If you're short on time, prepare the chocolate pudding and whipped cream ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator until you're ready to assemble the cups. • Consider using edible markers or black gel icing to draw on additional monster features, such as eyebrows or mouths. • To make the cups more durable for transport or serving, consider using small cups or containers with lids.
