Ghosts and goblins gotta
have their desserts just like everyone else, so serve 'em these
sweet treats in a cup!
Halloween
Dessert Cups
- 16 orange-filled chocolate
sandwich cookies - divided use
1 cup boiling water
1 (3.25-ounce) package lime gelatin
Ice cubes
1/2 cup cold water
2 cups thawed nondairy whipped topping
20 drops each: green and yellow food coloring
8 (7-ounce) clear plastic cups
3 tablespoons white decorating icing
Black shoestring licorice, candy corn and cinnamon red hot candies
8 wooden sticks
- Crush 8 of the cookies;
set aside.
- In large bowl, stir boiling
water into dry gelatin mix until gelatin is completely dissolved.
Add enough ice to cold water to measure 1 cup. Add to gelatin;
stir until slightly thickened (consistency of unbeaten egg whites).
Remove any unmelted ice. Add whipped topping; stir with wire
whisk until well blended. Add food colorings; mix well. Refrigerate
20 minutes or until mixture is very thick and will mound.
- Spoon 1/4 cup of the gelatin
mixture into each plastic cup. Top each with 1 tablespoon of
the crushed cookies; cover with 1/4 cup of the gelatin mixture.
Refrigerate 2 hours or until set.
- Spread tops of the remaining
cookies with decorating icing.
- Decorate each to resemble
silly faces using licorice pieces for the mouth, nose and eyebrows,
candy corn for teeth and cinnamon candies for the eyes.
- Insert a stick into side
of each decorated cookie. Insert 1 decorated cookie into each
dessert cup just before serving.
Makes 8 servings.
