Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Layer
- 1 box of brownie mix (or your favorite homemade brownie recipe)
Pudding Layer
- 1 package (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping, thawed
Topping
- 15 chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed (like Oreos)

Instructions
- Prepare the Brownies: Follow the instructions on the boxed brownie mix or your homemade brownie recipe. Bake according to the directions and allow the brownies to cool completely.
- Cut or Crumble Brownies: Once cooled, cut the brownies into small squares or crumble them into pieces.
- Make the Pudding Layer: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until well combined. Let it sit for 2 minutes to thicken.
- Add Condensed Milk and Whipped Topping: Add the sweetened condensed milk and whipped topping to the pudding mixture. Gently fold until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the Cups: In individual cups or a large serving dish, layer the crumbled brownies as the base.
- Add Pudding Layer: Spoon the chocolate pudding mixture over the brownie layer.
- Top with Crushed Cookies: Sprinkle crushed chocolate sandwich cookies on top to resemble dirt.
- Decorate: Add gummy worms, candy pumpkins, or other Halloween-themed candies for a spooky touch.
- Add Paper Headstones (Optional): Print and cut out paper headstones, attach them to toothpicks, and place them in the “graveyard.”
- Serve: Serve immediately with a cold glass of chocolate milk, or refrigerate the cups until ready to serve.
