Full Moon Pumpkin Patch Pudding Cups are a festive Halloween or Thanksgiving treat.

Pumpkin Patch Pudding Cups with Oreo Full Moons! So cute and easy to make for Halloween!

October is finally here and up until yesterday it has been HOT here in Oklahoma.  To say I am ready for Fall is an understatement so bring on the cool crisp air please.   It’s the perfect time to start making cute Oreo dirt cups with pumpkins and moons.  These Original Full Moon Pumpkin Patch Pudding Cups for Halloween Snacks  has been compensated and all content is my own.

 Today has already been much cooler and to celebrate the nice weather we are having some Pumpkin Patch Pudding Cups with Oreo Full Moons!  My kids and I had fun creating these and I know we will be making them again as a fun Fall treat.

Pumpkin Patch Pudding Cups with Oreo Full Moons! So cute and easy to make!

Making these was super easy.  I just twisted the Oreo’s apart and laid aside the halves that looked best as moons and the other halves I laid aside to become the dirt for the Pumpkin Patch.  Before making the dirt take off all the creme on the Oreo cookies then whirl them around in a blender or food processor until they look like dirt.

Pumpkin Patch Pudding Cups with Oreo Full Moons! So cute and easy to make for Halloween!

 To assemble just sprinkle the Oreo dirt first as the base. Then add two mini pumpkins and pipe some green icing with a #2 tip for vines.  Then take the Oreo half that looks like a moon and place it to the back of the “scene”.  Now enjoy your super cute creation!!!

My kids and I had fun creating these Pumpkin Patch Pudding Cups and now we make them regularly as fun Fall treat.

Oreo’s and pudding cups were made to be together and I love how the crushed Oreos look like dirt and make the perfect ground for the little candy pumpkins.  Crushed up Oreo’s in pudding tastes just like cookies and cream .  Snack Packs pudding packs make it easy to whip up a fun snack fast!  Snack Pack puddings are an easy choice for my kids and our fave is the chocolate!  It should be easy to find all the elements of this snack recipe, but I’ve given some suggestions of other add-ins below.

How to make pumpkin patch pudding cups

 To assemble just sprinkle the Oreo dirt first as the base. Then add two mini pumpkins and pipe some green icing with a #2 tip for vines.  Then take the Oreo half that looks like a moon and place it to the back of the “scene”.  Now enjoy your super cute creation!!!

Tips for making Full Moon Pumpkin Patch Pudding Cups:

  1. Use chocolate pudding cups.  Chocolate won’t show through through the “dirt” you made on top.
  2. Use Mellowcreme Pumpkins.  The ones we like to use are made by Brach’s candies.  They have a great taste that adds to the pudding cups!
  3. Use canned icing to make it easy.  No need to make your own icing because you are using such a little amount.  I just use a store bought icing that I tinted green.  I always like any can of icing that says that it is “whipped” but you can get whatever white icing you like.
  4. Twist the Oreos lightly to get a clean half.  Usually there is one side that the creme like to stick on.  Another tip to get that perfect icing on one side is to chill them for a few minutes before twisting.
  5. Chill the pudding beforehand.  I like my pudding cold right out of the refrigerator and I think this tastes the best.
  6. Use jars instead of the premade cups.  This recipe is great to use with the 4 oz. size mason jars and homemade pudding or pudding made with a box mix.  I like to use the Snack packs, but you can use the jar method as well.
  7. Use a piping bag or gallon plastic bag.  When I don’t have a piping bag handy I use a gallon plastic bag to put the icing into.  Just zip up the top of the bag after filling it with icing.  At the bottom of the bag cut a little snip off the corner and that will be where the icing comes out.  This does really well for small icing decorations.

See recipe BELOW just scroll to the end!

Now admire your super cute creation and enjoy eating the yummy pudding!

I don’t know about your kids, but my kids would eat this kind of Halloween Snack everyday.

Pumpkin Patch Pudding Cups

Since we first made these Full Moon Pumpkin Patch Pudding Cups in 2014 they have been an annual family tradition!

A friend of mine says these Full Moon Pumpkin Patch pudding cups look like a scene from “It’s a Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” and I agree!   Linus was not ready to leave the pumpkin patch and neither are we… these are just too cute.  We like to watch the movie and make these as our snack.  A little spooky and a lot of CUTE!  What Halloween or Fall themed foods do you like to make when the weather starts to cool down?

Want another easy Halloween idea using pudding cups?  Here is my recipe for Spider Infested Pudding Cups!  I think making the Spider Pudding Cups and the Full Moon Pumpkin Patch Pudding Cups would be fun together!  Make them for a Halloween themed party or just a fun after school snack.

The best part of these Pumpkin Patch Pudding Cups is how great they taste!

The Oreo dirt mixes in with the pudding to give it a cookies and cream taste.   Full Moon Pumpkin Patch Pudding Cups remind me of  the dirt cake or dirt pudding that I grew up eating, but instead of gummy worms they are replaced with the Mellowcreme pumpkins.  I think the pumpkins taste 1000% better than gummy worms with pudding.  The mellowcreme pumpkins work really well in this for flavor as well as cuteness.

Fun ideas to try in pumpkin patch pudding cups:

  • Add a little sign made from popsicle sticks.  The sign could say something festive like “Pumpkins for sale” or “pumpkins for picking”.  Even better add a sign that says “Welcome Great Pumpkin” from the Charlie Brown Movie!  So cute!
  • Add SPRINKLES!  I’ve seen some cute fall themed sprinkles lately that would be super cute to put in the pudding dirt cups. I like the Fall Leaves sprinkles and they would look perfect in this.
  • Stuff the pudding cups with hidden treasure.  Add in nuts, marshmallows or add in some healthier pantry items like chia seeds or flax seeds.  The options are endless here as long as it tastes great with chocolate pudding.  I am thinking chocolate candies would be a hit on Halloween or a way to use up the Halloween candies.

I think you will enjoy this easy recipe and I hope it becomes your new Fall/ Halloween tradition too.  What would you add to a Halloween or Fall themed pudding cups?  Share your ideas in the comments below.

    This is such a cute snack idea and one even I could do successfully. The last time I tried a cute snack idea, a Thanksgiving turkey cupcake, it was a disaster, but I could definitely make this work. Thanks for sharing.

      I find them at most retailers that also sell Halloween candy. The brand I buy is Brach’s.
