Terrifying Milano Cookie Tombstone Rice Krispies Cake
Something's Cooking in the Graveyard
Everyone is fascinated with a graveyard at Halloween and what better way to commemorate that fascination than to make a Halloween Tombstone Cake.
Two of my favorite desserts have been combined here. I could eat a whole bag of Milano Cookies just by myself and who doesn't love Rice Krispie Treats?
You can be very creative with this cake and it will be the centerpiece to your Halloween party.
I recommend that you make this cake and please send me a virtual slice. If nothing else, please tell me if this was the hit of the party.
Thank you for visiting.
Are You Dangerously Hungry for a Fantastic Halloween Dessert?
Every Halloween, things advance so much in creativity that it is hard to imagine what will come out during the next season.
This year, I wanted to make a dent in the holiday planning by presenting this very simple Halloween Cake. While I could eat any component all by itself, the combination is a taste sensation.
Some Halloween desserts have great presentation but many of them do not taste good. Let's face it, how many variations of bloody jello can you make?
Sure to please, I hope this one is satisfying to your sweet tooth, or should I say sweet "fang."

Pepperidge Farm Milano Cookies - Best deal on the internet! - Also available in Double Chocolate or Mint
What's a cemetery without tombstones? You can't make this cake without these cookies.
Whether you buy them here or get them at the Grocery story, you cake will not work without them.
This is a great deal on Milanos. This is even better, I'm told, than going to Costco or Sam's Club. You will have Milanos for a long time if you purchase them from Amazon. Always fresh and delicious!
