Haunted Pumpkin Patch Cups are a fun and festive no-bake Halloween dessert made with chocolate pudding, crushed cookies, and candy pumpkins. A spooky-sweet treat that’s perfect for kids and adults alike!

Ingredients

  • 1 (3.9 oz) box instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk (for pudding)
  • 1 cup crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos)
  • 1 cup whipped topping or whipped cream
  • Candy pumpkins (e.g., mellowcreme pumpkins)
  • Optional: Green icing or candy vines for decoration
  • 6–8 clear plastic cups or dessert jars

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chocolate pudding by whisking the pudding mix with cold milk according to the package directions. Chill until set (about 10 minutes).
  2. Crush chocolate cookies in a zip-top bag or food processor until they resemble fine “dirt.”
  3. In each cup, layer chocolate pudding and crushed cookies, alternating until the cups are nearly full. End with a layer of cookie crumbs on top.
  4. Add candy pumpkins to the top of each cup to create a “pumpkin patch.”
  5. For extra decoration, pipe green icing vines or leaves around the pumpkins.
  6. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Use orange-dyed vanilla pudding for a fun color twist.
  • Add gummy worms or tombstone cookies for a full graveyard scene.
  • Chocolate mousse or brownie crumbles make it extra rich.
  • Wait to add the toppings until just before serving if prepping ahead to keep textures fresh.
  • Great hands-on dessert for kids to assemble and decorate!
