Make-Ahead Cold Halloween Dip
Because this is a no-bake dip that requires no cooking, it’s super easy to whip it up ahead of time and pop it in the fridge until you need it.
It keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, so simply mix the ingredients and cover it with plastic wrap.
Just save the decorating until you’re getting ready to serve it, so the candies don’t bleed into the dip or get soggy.
This is a great appetizer or snack to enjoy before going out Trick-or-Treating, or as a spooky sweet fruit dip for a Halloween party.
Serve it alongside some Witches’ Brew punch, Halloween lush, decorated Halloween Oreos, Halloween bark, and Halloween cake mix cookies and you’re set!

Beat cream cheese and powdered sugar. First, you’ll use an electric mixer to beat the powdered sugar and cream cheese together until smooth.
Combine pudding mix and milk. Next, in a separate bowl, you’ll whisk together pudding mix and milk until it’s completely smooth and starting to thicken.
Then you’ll add the pudding mixture to the cream cheese mixture, beating well until smooth and creamy.
Finish the dip. Last, you’ll use a spatula to fold the whipped topping and food coloring into the mixture, until it’s fully combined and no streaks remain.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and chill for 30 minutes.
Just before serving, garnish with sprinkles, candy eyeballs, and gummy worms. Then serve with your favorite dippers!
Notes and Adaptations
- Serve with dippers of choice, such as: apple slices, fresh strawberries, graham crackers, vanilla wafers, marshmallows, pretzels, or Halloween cookies.
- Optional: Serve in individual cauldron cups for parties. I think this skeleton bowl would also be cute!
- Sugar-free vanilla pudding works just as well and is a great lower-sugar option.
- You can skip the food coloring if preferred–the dip will just be a light creamy color. For Halloween flair, though, the green adds a fun witch-y vibe.
- Store in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days.
- This is a great no-bake recipe for kids to help with—just let an adult handle the mixer, and the kids can help decorate it!
