Ghosts in the Graveyard

This recipe was in the October 1997 issue of Parenting Magazine. What I love about this is you can decorate it with any sweet treats you and your children want to use. Last year we picked out gummy worms, candy corn and pumpkins. We also used a zip lock bag with a small end cut off the make the ghosts. This is very easy for children to make (with a little help from mom).
