RIP Graveyard Brownies for a Spooky Halloween Treat
Looking for some yummy treats for your Halloween parties? Get ready to sink your teeth into these Halloween Graveyard Brownies – they're the perfect treat to satisfy your sweet tooth and send shivers down your spine.
Whip up your brownie batter following the instructions on the box of brownie mix.
Grab an 8" baking pan and give it a light coating with non-stick cooking spray, or line it with parchment paper.
Pour your chocolate mixture into the prepared pan and pop it in the oven and bake brownies as directed.
While those brownies are baking away, let's get creative with the Milano cookies. Use the black icing to carefully write "RIP" on the top of each cookie. Set them aside for now.
Now, let's prepare the "dirt" for our graveyard. Separate the Oreo cookies, scrape off the filling, and place the chocolate cookie pieces into a small bowl. Crush these cookies into fine crumbs – this will be the finishing touch for our spooky graves.
Once the brownies are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool completely.
When cooled, cut the brownies into 12 equal-sized rectangles (you'll get 4 rows by 3 columns).
Now comes the fun part: carefully insert a Milano cookie into the top of each brownie rectangle, making them look like tombstones.
Grab a small spoon and sprinkle about a teaspoon of the crushed Oreo crumbs onto each brownie grave, creating little mounds of "dirt."
Notes
Don't overbake the pan of brownies: Keep an eye on them and take them out when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Overbaking will result in dry brownies.
Get creative with your tombstone decorations: Use different icing colors, add spooky designs, or even write funny epitaphs or place a candy skeletons on top.
Make it a family activity: Decorating the graveyard brownies is spooky fun for kids and adults alike.
Experiment with different brownie flavors: Try using a chocolate chip brownie mix or adding chopped nuts to the batter for extra texture.
Add a layer of frosting: For an extra indulgent treat, spread a layer of chocolate frosting on top of the brownies before adding the tombstones.
