How to Make Pumpkin Patch Pudding
First, gather your ingredients:
- Chocolate pudding mix
- PLUS ingredients called for
- Chocolate cookie crumbs
- Pumpkin marshmallows or candies
That’s it – simple and sweet.
Place all pudding ingredients in a large bowl.
Whip the pudding ingredients together for 2 minutes until smooth and just starting to thicken.
Spoon the pudding into your individual serving cups. You can serve it in a big casserole-style dish but these serving cups makes serving at the event or party easier and you can also use it to encourage portion control with the kids.
Refrigerate the pudding cups until just ready to serve.
When ready to take these to your event, sprinkle the chocolate cookie crumbs overtop of the pudding and then garnish with the cute little pumpkin marshmallows.
