Mini Monster Dirt Pies
These Monster Dirt Pies are adorably spooky.
This rich chocolate pudding balances nicely with the tart gummy worms.
The chocolate pudding base can be used in a variety of desserts. However, if you are in a time crunch, feel free to use a Instant Chocolate Pudding in it’s place.
These Mini Monster Pies are perfect for a Halloween Movie Night.
I like to pair these Mini Monster Dirt Pies with a themed dinner and Halloween movie. Towards the end of September, we try to do at least one Halloween theme movie night a week. It is a fun family tradition that we have done the last few years and I plan to continue it as our kids grow up.
Additionally, if you are looking for more ways to include your kids in the kitchen, this is a great recipe.
Kids will love placing their own candy eyeballs and worms into the pudding. It is a great way to let them be involved in prepping this dessert.
