Halloween Graveyard Cheesecake Dip

September 21, 2017 by Lisa Park + 2 Comments

Halloween Graveyard Cheesecake Dip

I love Halloween, and I love making Halloween desserts and treats! This Halloween Graveyard Cheesecake Dip was so fun to make, and my younger daughter enjoyed helping me to decorate the top with the graveyard scene. The recipe makes a lot of dip, which is perfect to take to a Halloween party. If you want to make this Halloween Graveyard Cheesecake Dip for your family, then you’ll want to cut the recipe in half.

This recipe is part of the Cupcake Diaries “30 Days of Halloween” Series by Allison. It features 30 recipes from bloggers. You can see all of these posts on the bottom of this post and remember to keep checking back each day in September as there will be a new recipe posted each day!

Ingredients
  • 2 packages (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup butter, softened
  • 6 Tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 4 Tablespoons brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 Tablespoons milk
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 15 Oreo Cookies, crushed
  • 5-6 Milano cookies
  • Small tube of black decorating icing
  • Halloween candy such as candy pumpkins, candy corn, worms or edible eyes to decorate the graveyard
  • Vanilla wafers, graham crackers or apple slices to serve with dip
Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter together until smooth.
  2. Add the cocoa powder and mix until well combined.
  3. Add brown sugar, salt, vanilla extract and milk, and beat until smooth.
  4. Slowly incorporate powdered sugar and mix together until mixture is smooth and creamy.
  5. Pour cheesecake mixture into a 11x7 or 9x9 dish and spread evenly.
  6. Place the 15 Oreo cookies into a plastic ziploc bag and seal. Use a rolling pin to crush the Oreos into small pieces. Sprinkle the crushed Oreos on top of the cheesecake mixture to make the dirt.
  7. Use the small tube of black decorating icing to write the words "RIP" on the Milano cookies. If the tube isn't small enough, then squirt black decorating icing into a piping bag to make it easy to write the words. Or create your own piping bag by using a small ziploc bag, squirt black decorating icing into it, then barely cut one corner of the bag and squeeze near the opening to write words on the cookies.
  8. Insert the Milano cookies into the dip to make tombstones, and decorate the graveyard using candy pumpkins, candy corn, worms, edible eyes or other Halloween candy of your choice.
  9. Serve dip with vanilla wafers, graham crackers or sliced apples.
  10. NOTE: This recipe makes about 16 servings and is perfect to take to a Halloween party. If making this recipe for a smaller group, cut the recipe in half. Also, this dip may be made in advance and stored in a covered container in the fridge for 3 days. If making it in advance, wait to add the cookies and Halloween candy on top until ready to serve.

Staying on a grocery budget can be challenging, bu Staying on a grocery budget can be challenging, but your monthly grocery budget has an impact on your overall financial situation, so it’s important to learn how to stay on a grocery budget.

1. Determine a grocery budget that will work for your family.

A recommended starting point for a grocery budget is $125 per family member per month. But take into consideration your family situation, where you live, and your dietary needs. Every family is different and will have a different grocery budget.

2. Break your monthly grocery budget down into how much you can spend each week.

This makes it easier to know how much money you can spend weekly when you go into the grocery store.

3. Use cash to control spending

You are less likely to add extra items to your shopping cart and are more likely to stick with the items on your list so you have enough cash to cover the purchases.

4. Keep track and review spending

Keep your receipts and write down how much money you spend. Keep track of purchases either every time you go to the grocery store or at the end of each week.

5. Keep trying, keep practicing, and adjust as needed

Staying on a grocery budget takes work every month, so keep trying, keep working at it, and adjust things as needed.

Having freezer meals on hand for busy days is so n Having freezer meals on hand for busy days is so nice. Many times, while I am making dinner, I'll double the batch and eat one meal for dinner and then freeze one meal for later. This Spaghetti Casserole is one of those meals.

I don't always have one day where I can make 10+ freezer meals at one time. I found it's easier and more manageable for me to double the batch of a meal that I'm already cooking for my family and to freeze that second meal that I know would be a good freezer meal too.
