Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups milk any variety, divided
  • 1 box (3.4 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 1 box (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • few drops orange food coloring or red + yellow mix
  • 1 cup gummy worms
  • 22 Oreo cookies, crushed or gluten-free sandwich cookies
  • 24 candy pumpkins
  • 2 tablespoons bone sprinkles optional

Instructions
 

  • Whisk chocolate pudding mix with 2 cups milk until thickened. Chill for 5–10 minutes.
  • Whisk vanilla pudding mix with remaining 2 cups milk until thickened. Stir in orange food coloring until bright pumpkin orange. Chill for 5–10 minutes.
  • Spoon half the chocolate pudding evenly into 8 clear cups as the base layer.
  • Add a few gummy worms on top, letting some poke out of the sides.
  • Sprinkle 1/3 of the crushed Oreos over the worms.
  • Spoon half the orange vanilla pudding evenly over the Oreo layer. Smooth with the back of a spoon.
  • Add another 1/3 of the crushed Oreos as the second cookie layer.
  • Spoon remaining chocolate pudding over the Oreos.
  • Finish with the rest of the crushed Oreos on top. Decorate each cup with 3 candy pumpkins and a sprinkle of bone sprinkles.
  • Chill until ready to serve. Can be made up to a day ahead.

Notes

Make ahead up to 1 day in advance. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Not freezer-friendly. Use clear cups or mini mason jars for the best presentation. Try fun variations like green pudding for zombie brains or adding Milano cookies as tombstones.
