Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 box (5.9 oz) chocolate pudding, prepared
- 1 box (5.9 oz) vanilla pudding, prepared
- 1-2 drops green food coloring
Additional Ingredients
- 8 paper cups (5-9 oz each)
- Candy eyeballs
- Lollipop or wooden sticks
Instructions
- Prepare the puddings: Mix the chocolate and vanilla puddings separately according to package instructions to ensure smooth consistency ready for layering.
- Color the vanilla pudding: Add 1-2 drops of green food coloring into the vanilla pudding, stirring gently until you achieve the desired Frankenstein green shade.
- Layer the pudding: Spoon about ½ cup of the green vanilla pudding into the bottom of each of the 8 paper cups to create the base layer.
- Reserve chocolate pudding for decorating: Set aside ¼ cup of the prepared chocolate pudding for later use in decorating the Frankenstein mouth.
- Add chocolate layer: Top each cup with approximately ¼ cup of chocolate pudding, creating a two-tone effect with roughly ⅔ green pudding and ⅓ chocolate pudding per cup.
- Insert sticks: Place a lollipop or wooden stick into the center of each cup to serve as the handle of the pudding pop.
- Freeze: Arrange the cups on a baking sheet for stability and freeze for about 5 hours or until fully firm and solid.
- Remove paper cups: Once frozen, carefully peel off the paper cups to reveal the pudding pops.
- Decorate the faces: Fill a piping bag or plastic bag with the reserved chocolate pudding and pipe stitched mouths onto the pudding pops.
- Add candy eyeballs: Dab a small dot of chocolate pudding on the back of each candy eyeball and press them onto the pops in place of eyes for a spooky effect.
- Final freeze: Serve immediately or place the decorated pops back in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to set the decorations firmly in place.
