Step-by-Step Instructions for Halloween Graveyard Kit Kat Cake
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare the devil's food cake mix according to package instructions. Pour batter into a lined 8" round cake pan. Bake for 30–35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
  2. Once the cake is cooled, frost with a generous layer of orange frosting on the sides. Spread green frosting evenly on the top.
  3. Break Kit Kat® Bars into pieces. Arrange them around the cake’s perimeter, standing them upright.
  4. Chill the cake in the refrigerator for about 1 hour to set the frosting.
  5. Use Reese's Nutrageous Bars to create pathways and line them with Reese's Pieces. Position Hershey's Cookie 'n' Creme bars as tombstones.
  6. Return the decorated cake to the refrigerator for a final chill until serving.
