Though October has just begun, Halloween is just around the corner. You know what that means — interesting outfits, sugar rushes, collecting as much candy as you can carry and lots of fun costume parties.

This is a great opportunity to make an easy, yummy treat that will wow your friends and guests. This dessert goes along perfectly with any Halloween-themed party or gathering. It is also a great little treat for younger siblings, roommates or friends of any age. As college students we often forget to enjoy the little things that we once enjoyed in our childhood. You’re never too old to enjoy this classic dessert and get a fun taste of childhood.

Crush cookies in a bag until the they are fine, dirt-resembling crumbs. Once the pudding is set, sprinkle the cookie crumbs on top of the pudding until the top is fully covered.
