Halloween Cauldron Oreo Chocolate Pudding Parfaits

Directions

1. Combine the instant chocolate pudding mix with 3 cups of ice-cold milk in a large bowl. Stir until the mixture thickens, then place it in the refrigerator to chill.
2. Add 1 cup of cold heavy whipping cream, 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar, and ½ teaspoon of vanilla to the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the wire whisk attachment, beat on high speed until stiff peaks form. (You can substitute Cool Whip for the whipping cream if desired.)
3. Add 1 to 3 drops of green food coloring to the whipped cream and mix until evenly colored. If you want a deeper green, add more food coloring a drop at a time.
4. Spoon ¼ cup of the chilled chocolate pudding into the bottom of each mini plastic cauldron. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of crushed Oreo cookie crumbs over the pudding. Divide the remaining pudding evenly among the cauldrons, filling them to the top.
5. Place the green whipped cream into a piping bag fitted with a medium round tip (or into a large Ziploc bag with a tiny corner snipped off). Pipe dollops of whipped cream on top and down the sides of each cauldron to create a bubbling effect. Add one or two gummy worms to the center of each cauldron. Top with witches sprinkles and a candy eye or two. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
