Here's an eerie Halloween recipe for "Haunted Graveyard Dirt Cups":
Ingredients:
- 1 package (3.9 ounces) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 package (16 ounces) chocolate sandwich cookies (such as Oreo), crushed
- Gummy worms
- Candy tombstones (you can make your own using chocolate and cookie crumbs or find pre-made ones)
- Edible eyes or candy eyeballs
- Halloween-themed sprinkles (optional)
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the chocolate pudding mix with the cold milk until smooth and thickened. Place the bowl in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the other components.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue beating until well combined and fluffy.
3. Take clear glass cups or dessert dishes, and begin layering the dessert. Start with a layer of the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies at the bottom to represent the "dirt."
4. Add a layer of the chocolate pudding on top of the cookie crumbs, followed by a layer of the sweetened cream cheese mixture.
5. Add another layer of the crushed cookies to mimic more "dirt."
6. Continue layering the pudding and cream cheese mixture until the cups are almost full, ending with a final layer of the cookie crumbs on top.
7. Insert gummy worms into the top layer of "dirt," making them look like they are crawling out of the dirt.
8. Place candy tombstones in the "graveyard" scene, pushing them into the dessert slightly to keep them upright.
9. Add edible eyes or candy eyeballs on top of the dessert cups to give it an eerie appearance.
10. If desired, sprinkle Halloween-themed sprinkles over the top for added spookiness.
11. Chill the dessert cups in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
