Frankenstein Pudding Cups for Halloween

Need a Halloween treat the kids can help make in a few minutes? These Frankenstein pudding cups are green vanilla pudding in clear cups with Frankenstein faces drawn on the outside, topped with crushed Oreos. Frankenstein is a classic Halloween character, so how could I not do at least one Frankenstein activity?

What You Need for Frankenstein Pudding Cups

• Vanilla pudding: 1 package, which makes about 3 cups
• Cold milk: 2 cups
• Green food coloring
• Oreos
• Clear plastic cups and a marker for drawing the faces

How to Make Frankenstein Pudding Cups

1. Mix the pudding according to the package directions (basically whisk in 2 cups of cold milk).
2. Add a few drops of green food coloring until you get the color you want.
3. While you whisk, let the kids draw Frankenstein faces on the cups.
4. Let the kids crush up the Oreos.
5. Pour the pudding into the cups, top with crushed Oreos and enjoy!

Make It a Frankenstein Night

To make things even more fun, serve sandwiches for dinner and let the kids have the pudding cups for dessert. We read Frankenstein Makes a Sandwich, my favorite of our Halloween books. It is written in verse and tells a cute story about the trials of being a monster: Frankenstein wants to make a sandwich, but doesn’t have the stuff, so he tries to borrow it from a neighbor. Can you imagine how that turns out?
