You can decorate with candy (candy corns and pumpkins are great). Pepperidge Farms Milano cookies make great tombstones...decorate them with gel icing. Spoonfuls of Cool Whip can be made into ghosts.

Make a small slit in foil and poke popsicle stick through so it stands upright. Freeze cups several hours or until solid. To serve, gently squeeze bottom of cup to slid out frozen pop.
