Description
A simple, no-bake dessert resembling a pumpkin patch made with chocolate pudding and crushed cookies.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (3.4 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 container (12 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed
- 1 package (14.3 oz) chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos)
- 1/2 cup gummy worms
- 12 small candy pumpkins
Instructions
- Prepare the chocolate pudding according to package directions using the cold milk. Let it set for 5 minutes.
- Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the prepared pudding until combined.
- Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a large zip-top bag and crush them finely using a rolling pin or food processor. This is your ‘dirt’.
- Spoon a layer of the pudding mixture into individual clear cups or small jars.
- Top the pudding layer with a generous layer of crushed cookies.
- Repeat the layers: pudding, then crushed cookies.
- Press a few gummy worms into the top layer of ‘dirt’ so they look like they are emerging.
- Place one candy pumpkin on top of the cookie layer in each cup.
- Chill the cups for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- You can use vanilla pudding dyed orange for a different look if desired.
- For a richer chocolate flavor, use chocolate milk instead of regular milk when making the pudding.
- Crush the cookies just before assembling for the best texture.
