Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup chocolate chips and ½ cup of the heavy cream over medium-low heat, stirring frequently until chocolate chips are completely melted and mixture is smooth.
- Remove from heat and pour into a heatproof bowl. Allow mixture to cool completely before continuing.

- Fold in whipped cream and then stir on low-speed until completely combined.
- Set out 24 disposable shot glasses.
- Pour mixture into large Ziploc bag, snip off one corner and pipe filling into shot glasses, filling about ¾½ full.
- Cover tops of each shooter with remaining Oreo crumbs.
- Prepare Milano cookies buy using black frosting to write "RIP" on upper half of cookie.
- Press Milano cookies firmly into half of the shooters so that only the half of the cookie reading "RIP" is protruding (like tombstones).
- Prepare whipped cream ghosts by combining heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla in clean medium-sized bowl and whisking until stiff peaks form. (You may instead skip this step and use Cool Whip).
- Pour whipped cream (or Cool Whip)into large piping bag fitted with a large round tip and pipe ghost-shaped swirls on top of the remaininghalf of dessert shooters.
