How to Make Ghosts in a Dirt Graveyard

Once you create this dessert treat, it will look more realistic than just food. The following recipe will serve 15 to 18 hungry little "goblins".

[Edit]Ingredients

• 16 ounce (450g) package of Oreo sandwich cookies
• 3 1/2 cups of cold milk
• 12 ounce tub of Cool Whip (thawed)
• 2 packages (4-serving size each) of Jell-O Chocolate Instant Pudding and Pie Filling
• Assorted cookies, candies, candy corn, candy pumpkins, etc.
• Decorative icing

[Edit]Steps

1. Use a rolling pin or food processor to crush the cookies into fine grains or simple crumbs in a plastic bag.
   
2. Make the pudding by mixing the cold milk with the pudding powders. Whisk everything together for about 2 minutes.
   
3. Mix about 3 cups of the Cool Whip and half of the cookie crumbs into the pudding. Stir thoroughly.
   
4. Pour the cookie pudding mixture into the baking pan and spread it out evenly.
   
5. Layer the top with the rest of the cookie crumbs.
   
6. Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least an hour, or until ready to decorate.
   
7. Take the pan out of the refrigerator. Stick different kinds of cookies halfway into the pan to create the tombstones. Use decorative icing to create inscriptions on each cookie tombstone.
   
8. To make the ghosts, spoon wispy heaps of Cool Whip, layering each scoop smaller and smaller (as if you're making a snowman). Stick on a pair of small candies for the their eyes.
   
9. Sprinkle and insert different candies and candy pumpkins to make other effects of your graveyard. Once you're satisfied with the end result, it's ready to serve at your Halloween party!
