Halloween sprinkles

Instructions

Pour cold milk into a large bowl.

Notes

Storage:

Keep dirt cups refrigerated for up to 5 days. The crumbs will get soggy after the first day. They don't freeze well.

Tips:

Make the Nutter Butter ghosts using this method.
If you have a peanut allergy in the family, Milano cookies are a great option for ghosts and tombstones.
