- Ingredients:
- 8
- Serves:
-
16
ingredients
- 15 Oreo cookies
- 709.77 ml cold milk
- 2 (198.44 g) package instant chocolate pudding mix
- 226.79 g container Cool Whip, thawed
-
Graveyard decorations
- oval shaped vanilla cookies (to be used as the headstones Nabisco or Pepperidge Farm Milano work well!)
- candy corn or candy corn, pupmkins
- gummy worms
- tubes of decorating icing (orange, red and brown are nice)
directions
- Crush the oreo cookies in a plastic bag using a rolling pin, or in a food processor.
- Pour milk into large bowl.
- Add pudding mixes.
- Beat with wire whisk 2 minutes or until well blended.
- Let pudding stand 5 minutes.
- Gently stir in 1/2 each of the whipped topping and crushed cookies.
- Spoon into 13x9-inch dish; sprinkle with remaining crushed cookies to be the"dirt" of the graveyard.
- Refrigerate for at least an hour or until ready to serve.
- Decorate the remaining cookies with assorted icings to resemble tombstones,"RIP" and"BOO" are nice sayings; stand up cookies in top of dessert like graves.
- Add candies and plastic"scary" creatures, if using.
- Drop remaining whipped topping by spoonfuls onto dessert to resemble ghosts.
- What works best is to make the cool-whip"ghosts" ahead on a cookie sheet and store them in the freezer until ready to use.
- That way they don't flop over.
- Two or three small, round dollups of cool-whip (like a snowman) make nice looking ghosts.
- You should be able to make 2 or 3 ghosts.
- Remove"ghosts" from the freezer and give them"eyes" and a"mouth" using the brown decorating icing.
- Place"ghosts" in the graveyard.
- Small plastic spiders, cobwebs, or mini monsters are a nice addition too.
- To serve, just scoop out into bowls.
- Store leftover dessert in refrigerator.
