How I Decorated the Platter:

Licorice Tree: How-to-video

Cookie Crumbs “Dirt”: I made cookie crumbs from chocolate sandwich cookies in my food processor or mini-chopper.  For this 13-inch platter, I used about 3 cups of crumbs (1/2 package cookies)

Royal Icing for “glueing” candy corn fence: Recipe – or you can use that pre-made icing in a tube from the grocery store – I’ve used black here – also used for the writing on the Nutter Butter Gravestones.

Ingredients

Chocolate Pudding Mixture:

• 1 small (3.4 oz) box instant chocolate pudding mix
• 1 1/2 cups milk cold

Whipped Cream Mixture:

• 1 cup heavy "whipping" cream cold
• 1 tablespoon instant vanilla pudding mix
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Peanut Butter Mixture:

• 1 8-ounce brick cream cheese softened
• 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 cup powdered sugar

Cookie Crumbs: (I crush mine in a chopper or food processor)

• 1 cup chocolate sandwich cookie crumbs such as Oreo
• 1 cup peanut butter sandwich cookie crumbs such as Nutter Butter

Decorations:

• Nutter Butter type cookies Gravestones
• gummy worms
• candy corn and pumpkins
• black decorating icing

Instructions 

• I use my hand mixer for mixing all three mixtures. I use the whisk for the pudding and the whipped cream (just rinse it off in between) and the turbo beaters for the peanut butter mixture. I assembled mine in 8-ounce half-pint mason jars, but you could layer in a glass or a clear disposable plastic cup.
• In one bowl whisk together the chocolate pudding mix and the milk until thickened.
• In another bowl whip the heavy cream with the 1 tablespoon vanilla pudding mix until it's slightly thickened. Add the 1/4 cup powdered sugar and whip until thickened it forms stiff peaks.
• In a third bowl mix the cream cheese, peanut butter and 1 cup powdered sugar.
• Fold half of the whipped cream mixture into each - the pudding mixture and the peanut butter mixture. (I fold this by hand with a spatula.)
• Add a layer of the peanut butter mixture to your jars or glasses. Add a tablespoon or two of peanut butter cookie crumbs. Add a layer of chocolate pudding mixture and top with chocolate cookie crumbs.
• Decorate with candy corn, gummy worms and cookie gravestones!
• To make a day ahead, layer the peanut butter mixture, peanut butter cookie crumbs and chocolate pudding mixture, then cover and refrigerate. Add the chocolate cookie crumbs and decorations before serving.

Notes

A piping bag or zip top bag with the corner snipped makes it easy to add the fillings to the jars.
