Steps:

• Drop garlic in proscessor bowl while machine is running.
• Process until minced.
• Add chickpeas, olive oil, tahini, salt, cumin and 4 tablespoons lemon juice.
• Process until smooth. Mixture should be thick enough to hold up the crackers and broccoli. If it is too thick, add the extra lemon juice.
• Spread in a 8x8 pyrex or similar sized dish.
• Line the sides with pretzels to make a fence around the perimeter as well as a walkway. Add the broccoli and parsley to look like trees and bushes. Place the crackers to look like tombstones.

Steps:

• Crush the oreo cookies in a plastic bag using a rolling pin, or in a food processor.

• Gently stir in 1/2 each of the whipped topping and crushed cookies.
• Spoon into 13x9-inch dish; sprinkle with remaining crushed cookies to be the"dirt" of the graveyard.
• Refrigerate for at least an hour or until ready to serve.

• Add candies and plastic"scary" creatures, if using.
• Drop remaining whipped topping by spoonfuls onto dessert to resemble ghosts.
• What works best is to make the cool-whip"ghosts" ahead on a cookie sheet and store them in the freezer until ready to use.
• That way they don't flop over.

• Remove"ghosts" from the freezer and give them"eyes" and a"mouth" using the brown decorating icing.
• Place"ghosts" in the graveyard.
