- Piping bag or plastic sandwich bag
- Small knife or cookie cutter
Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate pudding mix follow package instructions
- 1 1/2 cups milk to prepare pudding
- 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies for soil layer
- 4 gummy worms slightly warmed for gloss
- 4 candy skulls for decoration
- 1 cup whipped cream or coconut whipped cream

Instructions
- Mix the chocolate pudding powder with cold milk according to package instructions, then whisk until smooth and set in the fridge to chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Crush the Oreos into fine crumbs using a rolling pin or food processor, leaving some bigger pieces for texture.
- Spoon a generous layer of chilled pudding into each clear cup, filling about one-third of the way up.
- Sprinkle a thick layer of crushed cookies over the pudding to resemble dark soil.
- Place gummy worms and candy skulls on top of the cookie layer, burying some slightly into the crumbs for a realistic effect.
- Cut shortbread cookies or biscotti into small rectangles to serve as tombstones; use icing or melted chocolate to write spooky messages if desired.
- Insert the tombstones into the crumb layer, standing upright, and pipe whipped cream around their bases to resemble fog or mist.
- Sprinkle edible glitter or colorful sprinkles on top for shimmer, then chill the cups in the fridge for 15–20 minutes to set everything.
- When ready to serve, ensure the toppings are firm and decorations are stable. Serve chilled for a fun, spooky treat that looks just like a mini graveyard.
