Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups chocolate pudding prepared and chilled
  • 1 cup crushed chocolate cookies for layering and topping
  • 1/2 cup whipped cream for decoration
  • 1 cup gummy candies or marshmallow ghosts for spooky accents
  • 4 small cookies or tombstone-shaped candies to serve as grave markers

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Serving cups or small containers

Method
 

  1. Spoon a layer of chilled chocolate pudding into the bottom of each serving cup, filling about a third full. This creates the foundational landscape of your graveyard.
  2. Sprinkle a generous layer of crushed chocolate cookies over the pudding, mimicking dark, earthy soil and adding a crunchy texture.
  3. Add another spoonful of pudding on top of the cookie layer, smoothing it gently with the back of a spoon to create a scenic, layered effect.
  4. Decorate the top with whimsical gummi candies or marshmallow ghosts, positioning them to look like floating spirits or ghosts emerging from the ground.
  5. Place small cookies or tombstone-shaped candies vertically into the pudding, creating miniature grave markers that stand out against the layered landscape.
  6. Finish by piping or dolloping whipped cream around the decorations to resemble ghostly fog or wisps of spectral mist, adding an eerie, ethereal touch.
  7. Repeat layers in the remaining cups as desired, then chill for at least 30 minutes to set everything nicely. Serve chilled and enjoy your spooky, crunchy, creamy graveyard scene!
