SpOoKY BrOWniES

My Mom sent me this idea...I thought it was so cute! What a perfect idea for a Halloween Party!

SpOoKY bRoWNieS

1 box brownie mix (or make some Homemade)
Frosting (again, homemade or store bought)
Large Marshmallows
Black gel/frosting (the kind in the little tube)

Make your favorite brownie and cut into squares (my friend Brandi taught me a little trick...if your brownies are still warm and you want to cut them, cut them with a plastic knife, not the usual utensil, they make the perfect cut!!)

Glue the marshmallow down with a dot of frosting.

Melt the frosting in the microwave for 30 seconds to get it to pouring consistency. Pour about a tablespoon of frosting over each marshmallow and pipe on the eyes and mouth with black frosting.

I have yet to make these, I'm saving them for Halloween. As soon as I make them I will post my picture, until then, this is the picture I was sent...Maggie-Pie is the genious behind the cute-ness, so check her stuff out! I just wanted to post it so you can make them for your trick-or-treaters!!

Okay, that was weird...I looked at the comment above mine and was like "I didn't know that I already commented" and then I figured out it's not me. Anyway, those are so dang cute!! Thanks so much for the idea - I have to make a treat for a Halloween party and these will be perfect!!

Those are sooooo cute. I do have to say that working with melted frosting can be tricky. I did it for the life preservers on my coast guard cupcakes. If it is too runny, it won't set up nicely to make ghosts like that. There is definately a trick to it. I seriously want to try these now.

That is super cute! I must try those, although I guarentee mine will look nothing like that pic.

So are you a Twilight fan? I just finished reading the series this week and I'm hooked. ;)

I just reread your post & I saw what you put about the photo credit - I apologize - I'm pregnant and a bit hormonal which makes me a bit too quick with the submit button. :)

:) Thank you. I'm not from Houston, but I belong to a message board that has a lot of people from Houston on it. I posted that picture on there, too. Here is the link to the brownies on my blog: http://mag-pie.blogspot.com/2006/10/spooky-brownies.html
It doesn't have directions so I wonder if the person that forwarded it to you got it from the Two Peas in a Bucket message board where I posted the same pic & the directions.
I wish I could take credit for the idea, but I got it from a Betty Crocker cookbook. :)
