Quick and Easy Halloween Jack-O'-Snacks

Treat small Halloween guests to a snack size cup of pudding that looks like a mini jack-o'-lantern. They're a snap to make so the kids can even help whip them up before gobbling them up.

Fill Cups

Carefully scoop pudding into cups and insert a snack size candy bar into the center of each to act as a stem.

Materials Needed:

1 box vanilla instant pudding (makes 3 treats)
2 cups cold milk (per box of pudding)
mixing bowl
wire whisk

disposable clear punch cups
black permanent marker
snack size candy bars (to act as the pumpkin's stem)
red food coloring

Make and Tint Pudding

For every 3 treats, mix two cups of cold milk with one box of vanilla instant pudding and whisk together for 2 minutes (Image 1). To turn the pudding orange, add 5 drops of red food coloring and mix well (Image 2). Tip: If making multiple batches at once, increase the amount of food coloring accordingly (5 drops/box of pudding). Let pudding stand for an additional 5 minutes to firm.
