Ingredients
- 1 batch of baked brownies (homemade or box mix)
- 9–12 Milano cookies
- Black decorating gel
- 9–12 candy pumpkins
- Green buttercream frosting
Instructions
- Prepare and bake brownies in an 8×8” pan, lined with parchment paper for easy removal.
- While brownies bake or cool, write “R-I-P” on the top half of each Milano cookie using black decorating gel. Let them dry.
- Once brownies are completely cool, cut them into 9 to 12 squares.
- Gently press a decorated Milano cookie into the top edge of each brownie square to act as the headstone. Trim cookie bottoms if necessary for stability.
- Place a small amount of green buttercream frosting on the bottom of each candy pumpkin and stick them near the cookie headstones.
Notes
- Add crushed Oreos or chocolate cookies for a “dirt” effect.
- Gummy worms make a fun, spooky addition.
- Doubles well in a 9×13” pan for more servings.
- Chopped nuts can be added to the brownie batter for extra flavor.
- Tinted shredded coconut can substitute for green frosting as “grass.”
