Equipment
8x8-inch baking pan
Ingredients
1boxbrownie mixplus ingredients for making the brownies
½cupsemi-sweet chocolate chips
12Milano cookies
1black decorating gel icing
5oreosfilling removed
Instructions
Preheat oven to the temperature required on your box of brownies. Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl or large bowl, stir brownie mix and add-ins required (usually eggs, water and oil). Use an electric mixer or a rubber spatula. Add chocolate chips for extra chocolatey brownies. Stir until just combined. Pour brownie batter into the prepared pan and bake as directed.
While brownies are baking, use your black decorating gel icing and write "RIP" on the top of the Milano cookies. Set on a drying rack for the icing to harden.
Crumble the Oreo cookies to make the "dirt". Use a mortar and pestle if you have one.
When brownies are done, remove from the oven and cool enough to remove from the pan. Cut into 12 rectangles.
Insert a Milano cookie headstone into the top of the brownie carefully.
Add a teaspoon of Oreo cookie crumbles in front of the headstone to look like fresh dirt.
Serve.
Notes
If following the box recipe you decide to use a 13 x 9 baking pan, the brownies will not be as thick and you may find it difficult to insert the milano cookies so that they stay upright.As an alternative if you choose to use the larger pan, you can break the cookies in half before inserting.For the most delicious brownies, slightly undercook the brownies. This will give you the perfect fudgy Halloween brownies recipes.
