Ingredients
For the 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 near the headstone and place a pumpkin candy on top.

Notes
- Brownies: Use my chocolate brownie recipe, but cut the ingredients in half, to bake it in an 8x8'' pan. Or, you can make a 9x13'' pan, and double the amount of cookies, candy pumpkins, and frosting used in this recipe.
- If using a boxed brownie mix, I would suggest the Ghirardelli brand.
- Black decorating gel should be easily found in the baking aisle (near the birthday candles etc.) at your local grocery store, or at Walmart.
