Description
These Graveyard Brownies are fudgy Halloween treats topped with cookie tombstones, crushed “dirt,” and candy pumpkins.
Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix (plus ingredients listed on the box)
- 12 rectangular cookies (such as Milano or Vienna Fingers)
- Black gel or chocolate icing for writing
- Crushed chocolate sandwich cookies for “dirt”
- Candy pumpkins for decoration
Instructions
1. Bake the brownies.
Prepare the brownie mix according to package directions. Bake in a 9×13-inch pan and cool completely before decorating.
2. Create the tombstones.
Use black gel or melted chocolate to write spooky phrases like RIP, Boo, or tiny cross symbols on each cookie. Let them set while you prep the topping.
3. Make the dirt layer.
Crush chocolate sandwich cookies in a zip-top bag until fine and crumbly. Sprinkle the crumbs generously over the cooled brownie surface to form edible soil.
4. Assemble the graveyard.
Cut the brownies into rectangles or squares. Insert one cookie “tombstone” vertically into each piece, pushing gently so it stands upright.
5. Add decorations.
Press candy pumpkins, gummy worms, or candy bones into the “soil.” Chill briefly to secure the toppings before serving.
Notes
For neat cuts, chill brownies before slicing.
If using Milano cookies, pipe a bit of frosting on the base to help them stick upright.
Add a drizzle of chocolate syrup for muddy realism.
Let kids personalize tombstones with icing pens for a fun family project.
