Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Absolutely! In fact, it's recommended. Making it a day in advance allows the ladyfingers to soften completely and the flavors to meld together beautifully. Just be sure to store it covered in the refrigerator.

Can I use sugar-free pudding mix?

Yes, you can definitely use sugar-free instant pudding mix. It's a great way to cut down on the sugar content without sacrificing flavor.

What are some other topping ideas besides Halloween candies?

Get creative! You can use crushed Oreo cookies for a "dirt" effect, drizzle melted chocolate, add fresh berries, or even create a spooky spiderweb design with white chocolate.

Can I use a different type of cookie?

While ladyfingers work best due to their light and airy texture, you could experiment with other cookies like graham crackers or even thin shortbread cookies. Just keep in mind that the texture and flavor will be slightly different.
