Number Of Ingredients 7

2 small boxes (3.4 oz) instant vanilla or white chocolate pudding mix, unprepared **see notes
2 cups COLD milk
1 tub (8 oz) whipped topping, thawed (such as Cool Whip)
Blue food coloring (as much as needed)
6-8 golden Oreo cookies, crushed (can also use graham cracker crumbs)
Gummy candy sea creatures
Gummy candy stars or shells

Steps:

In a medium mixing bowl, add the cold milk
Sprinkle pudding mix over top and whisk well until thoroughly combined
Place in refrigerator about 10-15 minutes or until fully set
Fold in the whipped topping with a spatula
Add to small glasses or cups (about 9oz cups)
Place in refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to chill
Crush cookies in food processor until fine crumbs OR use a Ziploc bag and rolling pin to crush until fine crumbs
Spoon cookies on side to resemble sand/beach
Add gummy creatures, stars or shells on top
For the food coloring, gel food coloring works best. Depending on how dark blue you want the pudding, you may need to make it darker than expected because when you add the whipped topping it will lighten the pudding color.
