Description

Create spooky and fun Halloween Frankenstein Pudding Pops with creamy vanilla and chocolate pudding, decorated with candy eyeballs and green food coloring. A perfect no-bake treat to entertain kids or impress guests at your Halloween party.


Ingredients

Scale

Pudding Layers

  • 1 5.9 oz. box of chocolate pudding, prepared
  • 1 5.9 oz. box of vanilla pudding, prepared
  • 1-2 drops green food coloring

Decoration

  • Candy eyeballs
  • Lollipop or wooden sticks
  • ¼ cup reserved chocolate pudding (from above)
  • 8 paper cups (5-9 oz. size)


Instructions

  1. Prepare Pudding: Mix both pudding boxes according to the package instructions. Add 1 to 2 drops of green food coloring to the vanilla pudding and stir until you achieve your desired Frankenstein green shade.
  2. Layer Pudding in Cups: Scoop about ½ cup of the green vanilla pudding into the bottom of each of the 8 paper cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  3. Add Chocolate Layer: Reserve ¼ cup of chocolate pudding in a separate bowl for decoration. Then, spoon about ¼ cup of chocolate pudding over the green layer in each cup to make a layered effect with a 2:1 ratio of green to chocolate pudding.
  4. Insert Sticks: Insert a lollipop or wooden stick into the center of each pudding pop, making sure it stands upright for easy eating later.
  5. Freeze Pops: Place the cups on a baking sheet for stability and freeze for approximately 5 hours or until the pudding pops are firm and fully frozen.
  6. Remove Cups and Decorate: Once frozen solid, carefully peel off the paper cups. Transfer reserved chocolate pudding into a piping bag or a plastic bag with a tip cut off.
  7. Add Face Details: Pipe a stitched mouth design onto each pudding pop using the reserved chocolate pudding. To attach candy eyeballs, pipe a small dot of the reserved pudding on the back of each eyeball and press them firmly onto the pops.
  8. Final Freeze and Serve: Serve immediately for a softer finish or return the decorated pops to the freezer for 10-15 minutes to set the eyes and mouth decorations firmly before serving.

Notes

  • Use paper cups sized between 5 and 9 ounces for easier handling and freezing.
  • Make sure the pudding is completely firm before peeling off the paper cups to avoid deformations.
  • These pudding pops offer a fun and kid-friendly Halloween treat that’s easy to prepare and customize.
  • Store leftover pops in the freezer in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
