- Lychee Fruit (to create those spooky eyeballs)
- Blueberries (for the irises)
- Red Food Coloring (to make those bloodshot eyes)

- Hershey Bar (for gravestones)
- Hershey Kisses (to create tombstones)
- Optional Decorations: Candy pumpkins, candy corn, marshmallow fluff (for fluffy ghosts), candy eyes (or stiff buttercream for tall ghosts)
Recipe Substitutions And Notes
- A stiff buttercream will make ghosts that stand up vs ones that lay flat.
- Experiment with different toppings.
Let’s Get Cooking!
- Bake the Base: First things first, whip up your sugar cookie pizza and let it cool completely. A cool cookie is essential to keep that rich icing intact!
- Icing Time: Spread the chocolate buttercream icing generously over your cooled cookie pizza. Go wild with your icing skills—this is where the fun begins!
- Eyeball Preparation: Grab your can of Lychee fruit and trim the bottoms so they can stand on their own. Place a blueberry in each Lychee to create some eerie eyeballs. Use a toothpick to add red food coloring to mimic bloodshot eyes. It’s ghoulishly fun!
- Dirt Topping: Crush the Oreos into fine crumbs and sprinkle them generously over your cookie pizza. This adds an earthy (and delicious) touch that complements the spooky vibe.
- Crafting Gravestones: Break apart your Hershey bar into pieces and use a toothpick to carve “RIP” into the back of each piece. These will serve as the gravestones for your spooky scene.
- Assemble the Tombstones: Place the Hershey Kisses randomly on the cookie pizza, standing them upright to act as tombstones. Use an additional Hershey Kiss behind them for added support.
- Add Your Creepy Touches: Scatter your Lychee eyeballs around the pizza, and feel free to add any of your optional decorations like candy pumpkins or candy corn to amp up the spooky factor!
- Chill Before Serving: Pop your spooky cookie pizza in the fridge until you’re ready to serve. When it’s time to dig in, cut triangular slices for each plate.
