Haunted {but cute} Graveyard Brownies

October 5, 2013

Haunted Brownies


BOO!!

It’s getting close to Halloween and all the kids are getting excited deciding what they want to be. Heck, even us adults are thinking about it. Last year I was a Pirate (complete with my own parrot, Bongo) so this year I’m trying to think of something different. I was at Big Lots this afternoon looking at all the cute decorations and kids costumes and it makes me excited for Halloween.

Another thing I like about this time of year are the creative and cute desserts people make. I’ve been all over the blogosphere and have seen so many creative ideas so I decided to jump right in there and make a pan of Haunted Graveyard brownies for a Halloween twist.

Start with your favorite brownie mix. Bake as directed in the oven and allow to cool. I don’t use mixes much but in this case I was more focused on my graveyard then I was on making my brownies from scratch. I baked mine in a 9×13 pan which gives you a bigger graveyard, but a 9×9 will do as well.

Next, take 10 peanut butter Oreos and smash them up and lay them across the top of the brownies. I used peanut butter Oreos mostly because the color was what I was looking for but also they are my favorite and I needed a reason (HA!) to buy a package. They are very good.

Next, take several Mint Milano cookies and using a pastry bag with a small round tip, write on them to simulate headstones. As you can see, I did a RIP and an ICU with eyes poking out. I thought that was kind of cute.

Haunted Brownies

Arrange your “headstones” on top of the brownies by pressing in the blank end into the brownie & Oreo “ground.”

To make the ghosts, use a white frosting (I used Duncan Hines vanilla in a can) and place it in a pastry bag with your  largest round decorating tip.  Squeeze out the frosting in a circular motion building up to a point. Add google eyes to your ghosts and you’re done!

I also added some spider webbing and a big scary spider to give it a ghostly look. There you have it…. delicious and spooky haunted graveyard brownies. And it turned out so cute!! If this were your graveyard brownies, what would you add?
