Remember how amazing dirt pudding was when you were a kid? Well this is like that, but the Halloween edition.
Instead of pudding, the base is an addictive chocolatey cheesecake dip.
Top it with crushed Oreo "dirt", Milano tombstones, candy corn pumpkins, and gummy worms for a spooky vibe.
Here's how to make it.
Here's a step-by-step photo guide to making the dip. You can get the full recipe at the bottom of this post.
1. You'll need these things to make the dip.
2. First, microwave the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30 second bursts. Stir until it's smooth. Add the cream cheese and powdered sugar.
You'll throw a pinch of salt and some vanilla in there, too.
3. Then, beat everything together with an electric mixer until fluffy.
4. Scrape the dip into a shallow bowl and top with the crushed Oreos.
5. To make the gravestones, use the black decorating icing to write RIP, BOO, XX, or anything else you like on the Milanos.
6. Sink those babies right into the dip and scatter the candy corn pumpkins and gummy worms all around.
7. Voila! A haunted graveyard that tastes ~heavenly~. 😉
