Storing Your Pudding Cups
If you have leftovers (which is rare when kids are around!), you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Preferably, enjoy them within two days for the best taste and texture.
Tips for Crafting Perfect Pudding Cups
- If you want to get a little more creative, consider using different colored food dyes to make a rainbow of spooky creatures.
