Halloween brownies

Step 1

Line an 8” baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a little bit of overhang on the sides so that you'll be able to easily pull the brownies out of the pan. 

Step 2

Pour brownie batter into the prepared pan and smooth it into an even layer. Bake according to recipe instructions.

Step 3

Allow brownies to cool completely. Pull up on the parchment paper and transfer the brownies to a flat surface. Cut the brownies into rectangles. (I cut mine 4 x 3 to make 12 rectangle brownies).

Step 4

Mix all of the frosting ingredients together in a bowl. Mix for 2 minutes until light and fluffy. Add a little more powdered sugar to make the mixture thicker, or another dash of milk to make it thinner, as needed. Mix in a few drops of green food coloring. Set aside.

Step 5

Use the black (edible) gel pen to write the letter R-I-P on the top of each milano cookie. I also cut the very bottom edge off of my cookies to make the "headstones" a little shorter, but you don't have to. 

Step 6

Press each cookie into the top of the brownie, as if it were a grave headstone. 

Step 7

Spoon a a little green frosting near the headstone and place a pumpkin candy on top.
