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".

- Decorative icing
Steps

Pour the cookie pudding mixture into the baking pan and spread it out evenly.
-
Layer the top with the rest of the cookie crumbs.
-
Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least an hour, or until ready to decorate.
-
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.
-
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.

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!

QuestionDo I remove the filling from the Oreo cookies before you crush?Maya HoustonCommunity AnswerYes, this will stop the cookies from going soft too quickly. But if you don't have enough time to take all the filings out of the Oreos then it wouldn't matter that much, but if you can I would advise doing so.
