These graveyard pudding cups are adorable cups of brownies, chocolate pudding, and Oreo crumbs decorated to be so cute for Halloween!
These graveyard pudding cups are so easy to make, with only a few ingredients, and they take only a few minutes to actually put them together.
These cups are a classic Halloween dessert, with individual cups of brownies, pudding, and chocolate cookie crumbs topped with adorable cookie tombstones and candy pumpkins.
These Halloween pudding cups would be so fun to serve up as an after school treat, or at a Halloween party!
How to make Graveyard Pudding Cups?
Start by preparing each of your layers. You’ll need brownies, chocolate pudding, Oreo crumbs, and Milano tombstones.
For the brownie layer I usually just use a box mix of brownies and prepare it according to the package directions. Bake the brownies up in a 9×13 pan until they are done (when a toothpick comes out clean). Then let them cool completely before chopping them up into bite sized pieces.
For the pudding layer, I just whipped together a box of instant chocolate pudding mix with cold milk according to the directions on the box.
Crush up the Oreo cookies in a food processor, or by hammering them in a ziplock bag till they’re nice and crumbly.
Scoop some premade chocolate frosting into a small ziplock bag. Snip the tip of the bag off and pipe letters onto the Milano cookies.
Now we’re ready for assembly. I used these small 9 oz cups. Start by filling the cup about half way full with brownie pieces. Then top each cup evenly with the chocolate pudding. Sprinkle the cookie crumbs evenly over the top of the pudding. Then put the tombstone cookies into each cup. Add two candy pumpkins to each cup, and pipe additional green frosting around the pumpkins to represent the pumpkin vines.
These are ready to serve immediately, or chill them in the fridge for a couple hours before serving.
Tips for making Graveyard Pudding Cups:
- You can choose to use a box of brownie mix prepared at home, store bought brownies, or your favorite homemade brownie recipe.
- You can also choose to make homemade chocolate pudding, instead of using a mix.
- Instead of one layer of brownies and one layer of pudding, you can also alternate two thinner layers of each in each of the cups.
- If you want to make these pudding cups ahead of time, you can make the Milano tombstones ahead of time as well, but don’t add them to the cups until you are ready to serve to prevent the cookie from going too soft. These cups can be made up to 24 hours in advance.
- You could also add some gummy worms or candy bones to the top of the “dirt” crumbs to be extra cute.
- Instead of making individual pudding cups you could also layer the dessert in a trifle cup, or a 9×9 or 9×13 baking pan. Spread the pumpkins and tombstones around the top of the dessert.
These chocolatey cups are such a cute and delicious dessert. They’re perfect for Halloween, for a school party, costume party, movie night, or just a cute treat!
