8. To make Tombstones, dip Milano cookies in melted chocolate and set or parchment paper or foil to cool. (You don't have to dip the entire cookie since part of it will be inside the cupcake.) Once cool, use the melted white chocolate to pipe "RIP" onto each cookie. I put my meted white chocolate into a small plastic bag and snipped off the corner and used it as a mini piping bag. Let cool. Cut slits into the tops of your cupcakes so that it easy to stick in the cookies, then pipe a ring of frosting around the cookie. (See photos.) Cover frosting with crushed Oreos!
Get whatever flavor you want! You can even get the mint ones and add peppermint extract to the frosting…Mmmm!
Using Milanos as gravestones isn’t all that original, but I wanted to dunk mine in chocolate to make them a little more special! 2 years ago I just used Oreo cookies as the gravestones, they’re a circle, but they’re already black. So you can use those if you’re in a pinch!
Do you see my “fail” one? Write the letters big enough or it will look silly like my first one.
Cutting a little slit in the cupcake helps a lot! And I liked to put my crushed Oreos on with the cookie in place because then the “dirt” piles up around the cookie a bit. You can also add a gummy worm on each cupcake for a creepy-crawler Halloween look!
The cute greaseproof liners? From Sweets & Treats!

These are so fun, I love ideas using some of my favorite treats.
I make them and add a no bake cheesecake filling, ice cream, or chocolate mousse 🙂 I usually only do 1 coat and they are so fragile…2 coats is genius! Thanks!
