Ingredients for Witch’s Brew Pudding Cups

The best part about this recipe is that everything is store-bought and ready to use. There’s no baking or complicated steps needed.

Chocolate pudding cups (pre-packaged for convenience)
Halloween Oreos (the kind with orange crème filling)
Gummy worms
Candy eyeballs
Optional: plastic cauldron cups or Halloween-themed cups for serving

How to Make Halloween Pudding Cups

1. Start with the Cauldron
Open the chocolate pudding cups. These are the base of the witch’s brew. For extra flair, transfer the pudding into mini plastic cauldrons or Halloween-themed cups.

2. Crush the Oreos
Place Halloween Oreos in a bag and crush them into small chunks. Don’t crush too finely. A mix of crumbs and larger cookie pieces gives the best texture. The orange filling peeking through gives that perfect Halloween pop of color.

3. Top with Oreos
Sprinkle the crushed Oreos over the pudding cups until the surface is covered. This creates the look of a bubbling brew inside the cauldron.

4. Add the Creepy Crawlies
Press gummy worms into the top so they look like they’re slithering out of the pudding. Let a few hang over the edge for extra effect.

5. Bring It to Life
Place candy eyeballs on top of the Oreos. Tilt them in fun, silly angles so it looks like the brew is alive and staring back.

And just like that, hocus-pocus! A whole tray of Witch’s Brew pudding cups; one Halloween treat for kids that looks impressive but takes less than 15 minutes to make.

Tips for the Best Halloween Oreo Pudding Cups

Use Halloween Oreos – The orange filling really makes the “brew” look extra spooky and colorful.
Add Variety – Throw in candy corn, gummy spiders, or sprinkles shaped like bats for more Halloween flair.
Make Ahead – Crush Oreos and prep toppings ahead of time, then assemble right before serving so the gummy worms don’t get too sticky.
Get Creative – Switch up the pudding flavor. Try vanilla pudding dyed green for a slime effect or cookies and cream pudding for a bubbling cauldron look.
