Ingredients
Scale
1 package (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
2 cups cold milk
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup crushed Oreo cookies (about 14 cookies)
12 chocolate wafer cookies or Milano cookies
12 gummy worms
Black edible marker (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the pudding: Whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk in a bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
Make the cream cheese mixture: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined.
Combine pudding and cream cheese: Gently fold the cream cheese mixture into the thickened chocolate pudding until no streaks remain.
Assemble the cups: Spoon the pudding mixture evenly into 6 individual serving cups or small jars.
Add the ‘dirt’: Sprinkle a generous layer of crushed Oreo cookies over the pudding in each cup.
Add the tombstones: Write ‘RIP’ on the chocolate wafer cookies using a black edible marker, if desired. Insert one cookie into the pudding in each cup, like a tombstone.
Add the worms: Place a gummy worm so it looks like it’s crawling out of the ‘dirt’ in each cup.
Chill: Refrigerate the graveyard pudding cups for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
For a richer flavor, you can use chocolate pudding made with milk and a bit of heavy cream.
Candy pumpkins or bone sprinkles can be added for extra decoration.
Ensure your gummy worms are long enough to create a crawling effect.
