Ingredients

Dessert

  • 3 cups cold milk
  • 2 tubs 8 oz each whipped topping, thawed - part of one for decorations
  • Oreo Cookies crumbs

Decorations

  • Milano cookies
  • Chocolate covered graham crackers
  • Gummy worms
  • Chocolate Almond Bark - to make trees optional
  • Black writing gel
  • White writing gel or powdered sugar and milk **see instructions

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together pudding mix and milk until smooth. Place bowl in refrigerator to set, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove from refrigerator and fold in whipped topping. Place back in refrigerator to chill about 10-15 minutes (longer is fine).
  • Create decorations while pudding mixture is chilling **instructions below
  • Divide pudding mixture into serving dishes or 13x9 glass dish **see notes
  • Add 6-8 Oreo cookies to food processor and crush into crumbs. Sprinkle cookie crumbs over pudding mixture.
  • Add decorations (directions below) and gummy worms to pudding mixture.

Tree Decorations

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Add 2-3 blocks of Almond Bark to microwave safe bowl.
  • Heat in the microwave for 1 minute, remove and stir. Continue cooking for 10-20 seconds at a time until chocolate is almost melted. Stir until completely melted and smooth.
  • Transfer chocolate to plastic decorator bag or resealable bag and snip off a very small amount of end of bag.
  • Create trees by piping melted chocolate onto parchment paper.
  • Let set for 10-15 minutes until hard

  • Tombstones
  • For white frosting for writing, mix together 1 cup powdered sugar and about 1-2 teaspoons of milk until smooth. You need the frosting to be very thick so begin with a very small amount of milk and gradually add a tiny bit at a time until consistency is good for writing.
  • Write years and/or RIP on Milano cookies or chocolate covered graham cracker.
