2. Prepare Pudding Mixture: In a large bowl, pour in the milk and add the instant chocolate pudding mixes. Using a wire whisk, beat the mixture for about 2 minutes or until well blended. Allow the pudding to stand for 5 minutes to thicken.

3. Incorporate Toppings: Gently fold in half of the whipped topping and half of the crushed cookies into the pudding mixture until combined.

4. Assemble Graveyard: Spoon the pudding mixture into a 13×9-inch dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining crushed cookies over the top to create the “dirt” of the graveyard.

5. Chill: Place the dish in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least an hour or until ready to serve. This allows the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.

6. Decorate Tombstones: While the dessert is chilling, decorate the remaining cookies with assorted icings to resemble tombstones. “RIP” and “BOO” are popular sayings. Stand the cookies upright on top of the dessert to resemble graves.

7. Add Additional Decorations: Get creative with your graveyard decorations by adding candies and plastic “scary” creatures to enhance the spooky ambiance.

8. Prepare Ghosts: Using the remaining whipped topping, drop spoonfuls onto a cookie sheet to create ghost shapes. It’s best to make these ahead of time and store them in the freezer until ready to use to prevent them from flopping over.

9. Decorate Ghosts: Once the whipped topping ghosts are firm, remove them from the freezer and use brown decorating icing to add eyes and a mouth to each ghost. Place the ghosts in the graveyard among the tombstones.

10. Final Touches: For an extra eerie touch, add small plastic spiders, cobwebs, or mini monsters to the graveyard scene.

11. Serve: When ready to serve, simply scoop out portions into bowls, making sure to include a ghost or two in each serving.

12. Storage: Any leftover dessert can be stored in the refrigerator to enjoy later.
