For the next two Mondays (the last two before Halloween) I’m going to share with you some fun ways to incorporate Halloween into your Family Home Evening lessons (along with a little food storage…of course!) These are great opportunities to incorporate the gospel into fun seasonal family activities.
Halloween is full of ghosts, so what a great time to talk about the importance of having the Holy Ghost has a constant companion in our lives! Get your whole family involved with this great lesson about the Holy Ghost; it has ideas for young children and teenagers/adults and fits into anyone’s family. And then of course for dessert….Ghostly Chocolate Pudding!
This pudding is so easy! It’s made from Magic Mix (for more information on making Magic Mix, click HERE) and is the BEST pudding I’ve ever eaten (trust me I don’t like any other kind of pudding…so it’s a huge thing for me to CRAVE this pudding). Just top the pudding with a blob of whipped topping and two chocolate chips for eyes and voila! A perfect dessert to end your perfect Family Home Evening!
Magic Mix Pudding

I tried this pudding and it was really good. I do have one question though. When you let it cool do you put a lid on it or cover it at all? I did not and there was a film on top. Like the top layer was kinda thick. Does that make sense? Also is it supposed to set up as thick as box pudding from the store or is it supposed to be a little more loose?
