Chocolate Halloween Pudding Recipes

Steps:

• In 2-quart heavy saucepan, heat 2 cups of the milk to boiling. Remove from heat; add dark chocolate, stirring with wire whisk until smooth. Set aside.
• In small bowl, mix granulated sugar, cocoa, cornstarch and cinnamon. Stir in remaining 1/4 cup milk. Add cocoa mixture to melted chocolate mixture in saucepan, beating until well blended. Heat to boiling over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat; simmer 1 minute. Remove from heat.
• In medium bowl, beat eggs with wire whisk. Slowly beat in about 1 cup chocolate mixture. Add to remaining chocolate mixture in saucepan; cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Remove from heat; stir in butter and vanilla. Transfer pudding to large bowl. Cool 15 minutes. Cover top of pudding with plastic wrap to prevent skin from forming. Refrigerate 2 hours or until chilled.
• In medium bowl, beat whipping cream, powdered sugar and food color with electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form. Remove pudding from refrigerator. Beat pudding until smooth. With rubber spatula, fold whipped cream mixture into pudding for swirled effect. Serve or refrigerate.

Steps:

• In 2-quart saucepan, stir together pudding mix, milk and coffee powder. Cook 5 minutes over medium heat, stirring frequently, until mixture boils and thickens. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla and chocolate chips with whisk until chocolate chips are melted. Divide mixture among 6 (4-oz) ramekins or custard cups. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate 2 hours.
• With cookie icing, write RIP on each chocolate cookie for tombstone.
• Just before serving, sprinkle tops of puddings with crushed wafer cookies; insert 1 tombstone cookie in each.

Steps:

• For the crumb base: Throw the cookies and melted butter into a food processor and pulverize. Spoon some into the bottom of the serving glasses and set aside.
• For the pudding: Combine the sugar, cornstarch and salt in a medium saucepan. Stir or whisk together. Pour in the milk and egg yolks and whisk together. Stir over medium heat until the mixture just barely comes to a boil and becomes thick, 6 to 8 minutes (maybe less, maybe more; just watch it!). The second it starts to bubble and thicken (note: it should be thick like pudding!), remove it from the heat. Add the chocolate, butter and vanilla and stir until everything is beautifully combined.
• Pour the pudding into the glasses on top of the crumb base. Serve warm or chill in the fridge for 2 hours. Top with whipped cream!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Break the Oreo cookies into chunks. I don't crush the Oreos to dust. I keep quite a few big chunks to keep the Oreo flavor and crunch in the cookies. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars together. Add in pudding package and beat until well blended. Add eggs and vanilla. Stir flour and baking soda together in small bowl. Add flour mixture slowly to cookie batter until well incorporated. Stir in crushed Oreos and chocolate chips. With a cookie scoop or spoon, scoop 1-inch cookie dough balls onto a baking sheet. Bake at 350°F for 8 to 12 minutes.
