Frighten family and friends with this festively gross grub. Add creepy confections to this 'bug-centric' pudding for a haunting flair they won't soon forget.

Creepy Crawly Rice Pudding

1 1/2 cups water
3/4 cup uncooked, medium-grain rice
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 (12-ounce) cans NESTLÉ® CARNATION® Evaporated Lowfat 2% Milk
6 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 large egg, beaten in small bowl
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Fun Size NESTLÉ CRUNCH, BUTTERFINGER and/or BABY RUTH Candy Bars, chopped (optional)

1. Combine water, rice and salt in medium, heavy-duty saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cover. Cook for 10 minutes or until most of liquid is absorbed.
2. Add evaporated milk, sugar and cinnamon; stir well. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 25 minutes or until creamy. Stir a small portion of rice mixture into egg; add back to the rice mixture and mix well. Bring to a boil. Cook, stirring frequently, for 1 minute. Stir in vanilla extract.
3. Transfer pudding to spooky serving bowl or eight individual bowls. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing wrap onto the pudding (this will prevent a skin from forming).
4. Serve warm or refrigerate for 2 hours or until cold. Top with chopped candy bars or creepy confections.
