These Graveyard Cups are a Halloween tradition. Even when I try not to make them, I am told that I must do it. And then I'm glad we do because they are yummy. This year I tweaked the ingredients to make a superior recipe. It's basically a chocolate trifle -- with worms. Yum. I made these for my piano party last week. I also made some from Jessica's pumpkin trifle recipe since some of my students are weird and don't like chocolate. We put gingersnap cookies in them and used cinnamon for the "dirt" on top. Thank goodness Olivia helped me make them all. She said she has the "gift of whisking". The pudding was perfect!
Ingredients:1 package chocolate sandwich cookies (Oreos)
2 big boxes instant chocolate pudding
16 ounces heavy cream
1/8 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 brownie mix, made according to package CAKE BROWNIE directions
24 Pepperidge Farm Milano cookies
decorating gel
24 gummy worms
24 clear 12 ounce plastic cups
Directions:
Crush chocolate cookies. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons crushed cookies in the bottom of each cup. Cut cooked brownies in 1 inch cubes. Place 5 cubes on top of crushed cookies. Beat cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla together in mixer until it becomes the consistency of whipping cream. Put 3 tablespoons on top of brownies. Make pudding according to package directions. Put about 1/4 cup on top of whipped cream. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of crushed cookies on top. Write RIP on Milano cookies with decorating gel. Stick cookie in trifle. Place a gummy worm beside it. Refrigerate.
*I didn't actually measure each layer. Just estimate and eyeball it. The measurements are just suggestions. Happy Halloween!
Those are so cute! I've never made them before, but I think Maggie would love to help me with them this year. That would be fun.
