Instructions: For garnish: long gummy worms, clean plastic skeletons or spiders

In food processor container, process cookies to form fine crumbs; set aside. In mixer bowl, beat cream to form stiff peaks; set aside.

In separate mixer bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until creamy. Add pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice; mix well. Fold in whipped cream and banana until blended. Spoon 3/4 cup of pumpkin mousse into each of 8 stemmed dessert glasses or large custard cups; spread to make top even. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons cookie crumbs over the top to make "dirt" surface. Cover and refrigerate until serving time.

To garnish: arrange gummy worms, skeletons and spiders on "dirt" layer, with worms looking as if they are crawling over the edge of the glass or dish.

Makes 8 servings.
