Dig into a delicious treat!

Watch out, this graveyard dirt pudding might give you a fright! Well, maybe not...it's more sweet than scary. Despite being completely homemade, the chocolate pudding that acts as the base for your new favorite Halloween treat takes just 15 minutes to prepare. It's sweetened with simple ingredients like banana and maple syrup and flavored with raw cacao powder, then topped with crushed chocolate sandwich cookies and creepy crawly Halloween candies. "Bone" appetit!

To make the pudding cups

1. Sift cacao powder and corn starch to prevent lumps. In a bowl or jar, combine cacao powder, corn starch, and salt.
2. Add maple syrup, vanilla extract, 1 cup of milk, and egg yolks. Whisk until fully combined.
3. Pour 2 cups of milk into a pot and bring to a boil.
4. Scoop 1/4 cup of hot milk from the pot and slowly pour it into the egg mixture while whisking. This step is to temper the egg.
5. Slowly pour the egg mixture into the pot while whisking. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Once the mixture starts bubbling, cook for an additional minute or two until it thickens, whisking. Remove from the heat.
6. Add mashed bananas and whisk to combine.
7. To assemble dirt pudding, fill a glass cup with chocolate pudding leaving about a half-inch on top. Top with crushed chocolate cookies and decorate with Halloween candies.
8. Cool in the refrigerator before serving.
