These Graveyard Chocolate Mousse Cups are a frightfully fun Halloween dessert. Layers of silky chocolate mousse are topped with crushed chocolate cookies to resemble dirt, then decorated with cookie “tombstones” and candy pumpkins. A little whipped cream or icing can be piped onto the tombstones to spell “RIP” for an extra spooky touch. They’re indulgent, festive, and surprisingly easy to make, making them a perfect choice for Halloween parties or a fun family dessert night.
