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)

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.
