Instructions
- Whisk together pudding mix and cold milk in a mixing bowl until smooth.
- Place bowl in the refrigerator to soft set, about 10 minutes.
- Reserve about 1 1/2 cups of whipped topping to make ghosts later. Then take the pudding out and fold in the remaining whipped topping.
- Place the bowl back in the refrigerator to chill for at least 15 minutes or up to 3 days.
Make Tombstones
- Lay the Milano cookies or chocolate-covered graham crackers out on a baking sheet.
- Write years or RIP on the cookies.
Crush Oreos
- Add 6-8 Oreo cookies to a food processor and crush them into crumbs.
Make Trees
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add 2-3 blocks of Almond Bark to a microwave-safe bowl.
- Heat in the microwave for 1 minute, remove and stir. Continue cooking for 10-20 seconds until the chocolate is almost melted. Stir until completely melted and smooth.
- Transfer chocolate to a plastic decorator bag or resealable bag and snip off a small amount of the end of the bag.
- Create trees by piping melted chocolate onto parchment paper. Let set for 10-15 minutes until hard.
Assemble
- Divide chocolate pudding filling into serving dishes or a 13x9 glass dish. **see notes
- Sprinkle a layer of chocolate cookie crumbs over the pudding mixture.
- Use the reserved cool whip to make "ghosts." Then add the decorations and gummy worms to the cups.
Notes
- The number of servings for this dessert will depend on the serving dishes chosen. Use dessert cups, clear plastic party cups, or a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
- Make the components ahead of time but don't assemble the dirt cups until right before serving, or the cookies might become soggy.
- If possible, use a food processor to make the Oreo dirt. Crushing them with a rolling pin won't result in fine crumbs.
