"Rest In Peace" Halloween treat
I don't often post because, well, I 'm not a writer. I am doing well just to comment occasionally. But I have this treat to share with you today because I do have some creative ability, (just more with the artsy and less with the literary). And, this is my own creation. I tried to write "Buffy, She Saved the World a Lot" (really, I did) but it was beyond the limitations of my icing tube, couldn't squeeze it on there I need a finer line.... This is a extremely fast and easy treat to make for a Halloween party.
All you need is:
a box of brownie mix, of your choice (the thicker the better to hold up the "tombstone")
1 bag Pepperidge Farms Milano cookies (you will have leftover cookies)
Decorations of your choice (shown are candy pumpkins and gummy tarantulas)
1 tube of chocolate icing (fine line)
Prepare brownies according to directions and bake in a 8" x8" square baking dish. Allow to cool 30 - 45 minutes. While baking use icing to write "RIP" on the cookies as shown. Cut the brownies into 6 equal pieces (use a plastic fork with a sawing motion for best results). While brownies are still warm but not hot, push the cookies into each brownie "grave" with the writing side up. Decorate the grave with items of your choice.
Serves 6
You can also make an entire "graveyard" with lined up tombstones on a whole sheet of brownies (maybe double the brownie mix) and leave them all together on a cookie sheet. I am going to try that later this week, if it turns out well I'll post a photo.
