Graveyard Halloween Brownies

[size=30]Graveyard Halloween Brownies

• ▢Prepared brownie batter for an 8'' pan*
  
• ▢12 milano cookies
  
• ▢Black decorating gel*
  
• ▢12 candy pumpkins
  

For the green buttercream frosting:

• ▢1 cup powdered sugar
  
• ▢1/4 cup butter (salted or unsalted), softened
  
• ▢2 teaspoons milk
  
• ▢green food coloring a few drops, to reach your desired color
  

Instructions

 

• 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. 
  
• Pour brownie batter into the prepared pan and smooth it into an even layer. Bake according to recipe instructions.
  
• 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).
  
• 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.
  
• 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. 
  
• Press each cookie into the top of the brownie, as if it were a grave headstone. 
  
• Spoon a a little green frosting onto the bottoms of the candy pumpkins and add them near the cookie.
