Ingredients

  • 1 package (3.9 ounces) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold 2% milk
  • 1 package (6) individual graham cracker tart shells
  • 5 Oreo cookies, finely crushed (about 1/2 cup)
  • 48 pieces (3-1/2 inches each) red or black shoestring licorice
  • 12 blue or green M&M's

Directions

  1. Prepare pudding with milk according to package directions. Spoon into crusts; sprinkle with cookie crumbs. Push eight licorice pieces into the pudding of each tartlet to form legs (curved pieces work best). Press M&M's in place for eyes. Refrigerate until serving.
