DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Grease a 12-inch pizza pan or 3 baking sheets.

- Spread vanilla pudding over baked cookie. Sprinkle with cookie crumbs. Cover and chill.
- Meanwhile, decorate cookie tombstones.
- Press cookies into pudding layer of pizza. If necessary, support back of cookies with some of the candies. Decorate "graveyard" with candies. Create peering eyes with candy-coated chocolate peanuts; make shoes, feet, and hands with gumdrops; and arrange jelly worms.
- Cover and chill up to 4 hours before serving.
