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.
GHOST IN THE GRAVEYARD COCKTAIL
Serve up a little black magic in the form of a cocktail made with vodka that's as dark as night-with a scoop of ghostly-white vanilla ice cream floating on top. It's rich, chocolatey, and absolutely spook-tacular.
