Ghosts in the Graveyard-I

HALLOWEEN CAKE RECIPE

A fun Halloween treat to make and eat!

1 package chocolate cream-filled sandwich cookies
2 (3.25-ounce each) packages instant chocolate pudding mix
3 1/2 cups milk
1 (12-ounce) container non-dairy whipped topping, thawed
1 package oblong-shaped vanilla cookies
Black and green decorator icing (small tubes for writing)
Candy pumpkins
Gummy worms
Chocolate sprinkles

1. Crush chocolate cream-filled sandwich cookies.
2. Make pudding as directed, using 3 1/2 cups milk, let stand 5 minutes.
3. Fold 3 cups whipped topping and 1/2 the crushed cookies into pudding. Spoon into a 13 x 9 x 2-inch glass baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining cookie crumbs. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
4. With the decorator icing, decorate the vanilla cookies as tombstones with things such as "RIP", "BOO", or drawings of skull and crossbones, or stick-skeletons and such.
5. Place the "decorated tombstone" cookies in the "graveyard". Use remaining whipped topping to create swirls of *ghosts" with chocolate sprinkles for eyes. Scatter the candy pumpkins and gummy worms around in decorative manner.

Serves 16.
