In reply to Marge. Thank you so much for trying my recipe, Marge! I'm glad it was such a hit! You can omit the cookies from this recipe. :)

I’ve made this recipe several times and it is great! I was just wondering if you have a recipe for a chocolate cheesecake type shooter that doesn’t include the cookies though?

In reply to Lauren Kelsey. Hi Lauren! These are standard shot glass size cups. If you make them in a larger cup you will get fewer desserts unless you increase the recipe.

The cutest and yummiest Halloween dessert you could ever make!! I ordered the plastic shot glasses as recommended in the recipe and it made closer to 30 little dessert cups. Even better for my party!! I highly recommend this recipe!

In reply to Sam. Hi, I see you provided a link to buy the plastic cups from Amazon. 2oz seems pretty small, would I need to double the recipe if I decided to use a larger cup? Thank you.

In reply to Nissa. You could do it without the stand mixer, just make sure you get those ingredients well combined. :)

These are adorable! Could these be made without a stand mixer?

In reply to Vicki. Hi Vicki! They should be kept in refrigeration. :)

Do these have to be refrigerated? Want to make to leave in the office all day at work. TIA!

I just made these for my husband to bring to work tomorrow and customized all of the milano ‘headstones’ with their military rank. I know that they will love them!

I have rated, loved, and use all of your recipes exclusively because you’re amazing, but just a heads up that in your instructions you listed to add the vanilla twice in the recipe and also what kind of chocolate chips you’d recommend to use in the recipe would also be helpful. Someone else commented and you said semi-sweet, but I had already gone ahead and used milk. I did save a few for myself as a treat because all of your recipes are ‘chefs’ kiss’

In reply to Belinda. Hi Belinda! The ghosts should stay in good shape for several days. Some times weird things happen, but if you are really worried, you can add them in the morning and they should be perfectly fine at lunch time. :)

How far in advance could you make this without the ghosts deflating? I’d like to take it for my work party, but am afraid the ghosts would deflate by the time we eat lunch.

In reply to Jessica. Hi Jessica! It could certainly be made in a pan, although it will be a bit messier. Honestly I'm not sure how much this would fill as I haven't made it in anything but the shooter cups. :(

I made this for our Halloween party and it was a hit! I’ve been requested to make it for a Halloween-themed wedding this year in a 9X13 form. Will this recipe translate to that size or should it be adjusted?

In reply to Amelia. Semi-sweet! Let us know how you like them, Amelia!

Hi Sam,
Do you use semi sweet or milk chocolate chips? Thanks!

In reply to Jen. Hi Jen! You do pulverize the oreos with the cream inside. I do have a short facebook video for them. :)

In reply to Sam. Hi Sam! We pulverize the cookies as they are correct? We don’t take out the cream? Also, is there a video for this recipe? Thanks so much!

Thank you!! Great recipe. These were a hit for the adults and kiddos. I had every intention of making the ghosts but ran out of time, so all tombstones this go around. I’d post a pic but I don’t see that that is an option. They were super cute though. I did sub and use glass yogurt jars I’ve been collecting. We eat a lot of yogurt so I have about 100 saved up just for this. 😉

In reply to Linda. Hello, Linda! I use 2 oz cups for this recipe. I hope they are enjoyed. :)

Will make for a Halloween party this year. Are those 1oz or 2oz shooter cups? I’ll get 2oz., 1oz probably too small?
