GHOSTS IN THE GRAVEYARD
This recipe was posted in response to a request for Halloween desserts. My birthday is on Halloween, and my mom made this adorable dessert many times for my birthday parties as a child. Feel free to be as elaborate as you like with the graveyard "decorations". There's lots of fun candy out there to experiment with. I hope you and your family enjoy this as much as I did! Cook time is chill time.

Steps:
- 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.

GRAVEYARD PUDDING DESSERT
I got this recipe from a magazine many many years ago and don't know who came up with this dessert. It was a favorite at all the Halloween parties I had for my children. They love this even today. The prep time is estimated because I never look at a clock when I make it.

SPOOKTACULAR HALLOWEEN GRAVEYARD CAKE
This is a great cake, perfect for Halloween parties, that is a take-off of the stand-by graveyard pudding. I noticed pudding is less popular than cake, and of course, cake is more suited for parties, especially those with kids. You can use your choice of cake flavor, but pay attention to the cookie crumbs you use in that case so they are compatible flavors. You also probably wouldn't want to use chocolate icing with a pumpkin cake, but if you wanted a pumpkin frosting, that would be good, or else use vanilla.You can use whipped cream to make the ghosties, but be aware that if you do this, the cake needs to remain chilled, and the whipped cream does try to sag and run after awhile (so don't do that too far in advance). The marshmallow ghosties are more durable at room temp. Those are often sold near displays of halloween candy, not necessarily by the bags of marshmallows.
