Ingredients

Pudding Ingredients

  • Chocolate pudding mix PLUS ingredients called for on the box
  • Chocolate cookie crumbs
  • Pumpkin marshmallows or candies

Frosting Ingredients

  • ¼ cup butter softened
  • 1 to 1 ½ cups powdered icing sugar
  • 1 to 2 Tablespoons milk
  • Green food coloring

Instructions

  • In a large bowl add the pudding instant mix plus the ingredients called for on the box and mix together for about 2 minutes or until thicken.
  • Spoon the pudding into a 9X13 casserole dish or spoon into individual serving cups. Refrigerate the until just ready to serve.
  • When ready to consume, sprinkle the chocolate cookie crumbs overtop of the pudding and then garnish with the pumpkin candies or marshmallows.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, mix all of the frosting ingredients together for 2 minutes, adjusting to make the frosting stiffer with more powdered icing sugar or softer with more milk. Scoop into a piping bag fit with a small tip (or just make a small snip at the end).
  • Use the green frosting to add vines to the pumpkin patch and the little pumpkin candies.
  • Serve chilled.
  • Store any remaining leftovers in the fridge.

Notes

Tips & Variations

  • To save on time, use premade pudding cups from the store and add crushed Oreos, candy pumpkins and green icing. Or you can divide out into plastic cups.
  • Add some gummy worms to look like they are crawling from the "dirt" for fun!
  • If you want more cookies, add a layer of pudding, crushed Oreos and then repeat again. 
  • Take a shortcut with the icing and use frosting in a tub, tint it green and pipe it out.
