Time 2h10m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ devil's food cake mix
Water, oil and eggs called for on cake mix box
Betty Crocker™ black decorating gel or icing
Betty Crocker™ orange or white decorating gel or icing
4 oval-shaped chocolate-filled vanilla sandwich cookies
3 miniature chocolate candy bars
1 container Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy chocolate frosting
1/2 cup chocolate cookie crumbs
4 PEEPS® brand marshmallow ghosts
4 toothpicks
58 pretzel sticks

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Spray 2 (8- or 9-inch) round cake pans with cooking spray. Line bottoms of pans with cooking parchment paper, if desired, to prevent sticking.
  • Make and bake cake as directed on box for two 8- or 9-inch round cake pans. Cool in pans 10 minutes. Remove from pans to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, use black and orange gel or icing to write RIP on oval-shaped cookies and miniature candy bars; set aside.
  • On serving plate, place 1 cake layer, rounded side down. Frost top of cake layer with about 1/3 cup of the chocolate frosting. Top with second layer, rounded side up. Frost side and top of cake with remaining frosting.
  • Sprinkle chocolate cookie crumbs on top of cake to make dirt. Insert cookies and candy bars into top of cake for tombstones. Insert 1 end of toothpick into bottom of each ghost-shaped marshmallow. Insert other end into top of cake.
  • Break 8 of the pretzel sticks into thirds. Use whole pretzels and pretzel thirds to make a fence around edge of cake as shown in photo.
