Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package chocolate instant pudding mix
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 ½ cups cookie crumbs for soil layer
  • ½ cup candy skeletons for decorations

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Small cups or jars
  • Plastic wrap

Method
 

  1. Pour the milk into a mixing bowl and whisk in the instant pudding mix until well combined and slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
  2. Divide the pudding evenly into small cups or jars, then smooth the tops with the back of a spoon.
  3. Place the cups in the refrigerator and chill for at least 10 minutes, allowing the pudding to set firm.
  4. Sprinkle a generous layer of cookie crumbs over each pudding, creating a crumbly, dirt-like surface to resemble soil.
  5. Carefully position the candy skeletons into the crumbed layer to emerge as hidden bones peeking out from the 'dirt.'
  6. Gently press additional cookie crumbs around the skeletons if needed to secure them and enhance the dirt effect.
  7. Optional: Add more skeletons or store-bought candy accents for extra spookiness and variety.
  8. Once assembled, serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of smooth pudding, gritty crumbs, and creepy skeleton decorations.

Notes

You can customize the scene by adding mossy green frosting or edible dirt for a more realistic effect.
