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
- Use a rolling pin or food processor to crush the cookies into fine grains or simple crumbs in a plastic bag.
- Make the pudding by mixing the cold milk with the pudding powders. Whisk everything together for about 2 minutes.
- Mix about 3 cups of the Cool Whip and half of the cookie crumbs into the pudding. Stir thoroughly.
- 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!
