Turn traditional pudding pops into adorable Frankenstein treats with this easy tutorial! Perfect for Halloween party treats or just as a fun activity to make with the kids.
When I think about summers as a kid, a few things come to mind. Giant slices of watermelon, freeze pops, and homemade pudding pops. I don't know why but something about being able to turn boxed pudding into frozen treats just seemed so revolutionary to me at age 7. So when I came across pudding pops online a few months ago, I was not only instantly brought back to those summer days but the creative in me wanted to find a way to innovate on them a bit.
So after racking my brain for easy Frankenstein treats, these little guys were born! The natural layering of the pudding works perfectly for creating his green face & dark "hair" and the addition of a few candy eyeballs just makes them even sweeter. Because Halloween food crafting would be *nothing* without my favorite little candy eyeballs.
What You Need to Make Frankenstein Pudding Pops:
- (1) 5.9 oz. Box of Chocolate Pudding
- (1) 5.9 oz. Box of Vanilla Pudding
- Green Food Coloring
- 5-9oz. paper cups
- Candy Eyeballs
- Lollipop or Wooden Sticks
How to Make these Easy Pudding Pop Frankenstein Treats:
Step 1: Mix Pudding
Mix pudding according to instructions on package. Add a few drops of green food coloring to the vanilla bowl, until desired shade is achieved.
Step 2: Fill Cups
Scoop about ยฝ cup of vanilla/green pudding into the bottom of 8 cups. Before scooping the chocolate pudding, reserve ยผ cup aside to later use for decorating the mouth. Then scoop about ยผ cup of chocolate pudding onto the top of each cup. The goal is to have a ratio of โ of green pudding and โ of chocolate pudding.
Step 3: Insert Lollipop Stick & Freeze
Insert a lollipop stick into the center of each one and place cups on baking sheet for easy transport to the freezer. Freeze for about 5 hours, or until firm.
Step 4: Peel off Paper Cups
Once completely frozen, peel off paper cups.
Step 5: Pipe on Mouth & Add Eyeballs
Place the ยผ cup of reserved chocolate pudding in a piping bag (or plastic bag with tip cut off) and pipe on the stitched mouth. To place eyeballs, pipe a small dot of pudding onto the back of each one and press on.
Serve immediately or place in freezer for 10-15 minutes for the eyeballs and mouth to freeze.
Aren't they cute? These little Frankenstein treats take less than 15 minutes to whip up and are a fun activity to get the kids involved in. A fun no-bake Halloween treat that is nice & sweet without all the scary.
