Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, use whole milk instead of low-fat. You can substitute the peanut butter with almond butter for a nut-free option, or use sunflower seed butter to accommodate allergies. Consider adding a pinch of salt to the filling for enhanced flavor. If you're short on time, use store-bought chocolate or vanilla pudding instead of the instant mix.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these frozen pudding witches as a fun dessert for Halloween parties or family gatherings. They pair perfectly with a side of fresh fruit or a scoop of Aunt Jackie'S Milky Way Ice Cream for a delightful contrast. For a special touch, drizzle some chocolate sauce on top before serving.

These frozen pudding witches can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks. To reheat, let them sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving, allowing them to soften slightly for easier biting. Avoid using the microwave, as it can alter the texture.
