I’ve got a super cute, super simple Halloween recipe for you today – Zombie Pudding Cups! It’s completely no-bake (aren’t those the best?) & it’s literally ready in 5 minutes. And, I’ve used the word ‘literally’ literally here. Seriously – only 5 minutes. Well, ok – maybe like 8 minutes depending on how fast you can crush Oreos. Time to work on those cookie crushing skills 😉
I used vanilla instant pudding & colored it a lovely shade of zombie green with my trusty Adams food coloring. Then, I took all my stress out on a sleeve of Oreos & layered them in a clear plastic party cup. A small mason jar or other clear glass would also be really cute. I layered the pudding/cookies about halfway up the cup, and then stuck in a green Peeps monster head. Hold the zombie head up against the glass (never thought I’d write that into a recipe…) & layer the rest of the pudding & cookies in, being careful not to get pudding on the front of the zombie’s face. Top with more crushed cookies.
Then, for added effect – I stuck in a couple of gummy zombie hands that I got from TreatStreet. I just love these little hands for these – they ended up being the perfect thing. You can find where to purchase their products here.
You could go an extra step & add a gravestone too.
I made mine with these neat gravestone molds from Wilton. I poured melted almond bark inside & refrigerated it until it was set.
Watch out – their are zombies rising from their graves y’all. Be careful out there. 😉

Hmm, I think my favorite Halloween characters are the three witches from Hocus Pocus. I still get a kick out that movie. And I eat candy corn while watching it because that’s my favorite Halloween candy, lol.

My favorite Halloween dessert is popcorn balls…although it’s not a dessert, it’s when I usually make them.

I don’t make Halloween food, but I love Anything with pumpkin!
Love all the ideas and links to more fun recipes! Thank you.
I always love the vampires on Halloween—the “punk” vampires, the “goth lady” vampires, the “traditional” Bela Legosis–all the vampires. As for desserts…pretty much all of them, too 🙂
I like the zombie theme
First off, thanks for the zombie recipe. I did not know they had zombie peeps. Can’t wait to find them.
A few years back you had a recipe for Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls. I love that recipie. It is one of the first I make for the the start of fall and through the season. It is so good. Always been a big hit for all.
Thanks for all your sharing and hard work you do.
Can’t wait for Halloween fun with the grandkids.
I love making frozen grape eyeballs or zombie cake.
Hard to choose which treat to start with!
I am not a fan of Halloween . But I read your post to see if there is something I can pass on to my daughter for the grandkids. Keep up the goodpost.
