Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (18 oz) fudge brownie mix (plus ingredients required on the box: eggs, oil, and water)
- 2 cups chocolate pudding (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos), finely crushed
- 12 Milano-style oval cookies (for the tombstones)
- 1 tube of black decorating gel or an edible food marker
- 24 gummy worms
- 12 pumpkin-shaped mellowcreme candies
Instructions
- Preheat your oven according to the brownie mix instructions. Prepare the brownie batter and bake it in a square pan. Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely. Once cool, crumble the brownies into small, bite-sized chunks.
- Take your Milano cookies and use the black decorating gel or edible marker to write “RIP” or draw small crosses on the top half of each cookie. Set these aside for a few minutes so the gel can set and won’t smudge during assembly.
- Take 12 clear plastic or glass cups. Place a generous layer of the crumbled brownie chunks into the bottom of each cup. Press them down slightly to create a solid base for your graveyard.
- Spoon about 2 to 3 tablespoons of chocolate pudding over the brownie layer in each cup. Spread it evenly to the edges. This represents the moist “earth” layer of your graveyard.
- Sprinkle a thick layer of the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies over the top of the pudding. This creates the realistic look of fresh soil. Make sure the pudding is completely covered by the cookie crumbs.
- Insert one “tombstone” cookie into the back of each cup, pushing it down through the crumbs into the pudding so it stands upright. Place two gummy worms and one candy pumpkin on top of the “dirt” in each cup to finish the scene.
