In a small bowl, blend vanilla sandwich cookie crumbs with melted unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon Halloween sprinkles until thoroughly combined.

Distribute the crust mixture evenly into 28 two-ounce plastic cups using a scoop or spoon. Firmly press the crumbs into the base of each cup to compact.

In a large mixing bowl, combine instant vanilla pudding mix with milk and whisk vigorously until smooth. Refrigerate mixture for 5 minutes to allow it to set slightly.

Pour heavy cream into the chilled pudding mixture. Using an electric hand mixer set to medium-high, whip until thickened and mousse-like. Add a few drops of green and yellow gel food coloring, mixing to achieve the desired hue.

Transfer the mousse filling into a piping bag and pipe into each cup over the crust layer, filling until approximately three-quarters full.
