FAQ
Can I make Andy’s Cookie Crunch Cups ahead of time?
Yes. Prepare the pudding mixture and assemble the cups a few hours ahead, then refrigerate them until serving. For the best crunch, save the cookies and toppings on top for just before serving.
What size cups should I use?
Small clear dessert cups around 5 to 9 ounces work well. I used 8 oz. Clear cups are especially fun because you can see the cookie and pudding layers.
Can I use a different pudding flavor?
Definitely. White chocolate or cheesecake instant pudding would both work, although vanilla keeps the flavor simple and lets the cookies stand out.
Can I use regular M&M’s instead of minis?
Yes, but mini M&M’s are easier to eat with a spoon and spread more evenly across the smaller cups.
What can I use if I can’t find these cookies?
You can use another crunchy Chips Ahoy! variety and add colorful sprinkles or mini M&M’s to bring some of the color back.
Sprinkle of Fun
