Ghosts in the Graveyard

Serves 12

3 cups cold milk

2 packages (4-serving size each) instant chocolate pudding

1 tub (12 oz.) Cool Whip, thawed and divided

15 Oreo cookies (with no creme), crushed

Garnish:

3 Milano cookies

Orange cake decorating gel

5 candy pumpkins

10 pieces of candy corn

Pour milk into a large bowl. Add the dry pudding mixes. Beat with a wire whisk for 2 minutes, or until well blended. Let stand 5 minutes. Gently stir in 3 cups of the Cool Whip and half of the cookie crumbs. Spread evenly into 9x13" pan; sprinkle with the remaining cookie crumbs.

Refrigerate at least one hour. Meanwhile, decorate the Milano cookies with the decorating gel to resemble tombstones. Set aside until ready to serve.

Insert the decorated cookies into the dessert before serving. Add the candies. Drop large spoonfuls of the remaining Cool Whip onto the dessert to resemble ghosts. Cover and store leftover dessert in the refrigerator.

NOTE: This dessert is very rich. A little bit goes a LONG way. I usually make it with one box of chocolate and one box of vanilla pudding, it helps a little bit.
