Ingredients and Supplies Needed
You need just a few ingredients to make these graveyard brownies:
- Chocolate brownie mix: plus the ingredients on the box, usually egg and oil. Or feel free to use any homemade brownie recipe.
- Graveyard decorating kid: I use this kit from Wilton. You can also use Milano cookies as the tombstone and black decorating gel writing like I do in these graveyard pudding cups.
Instructions
STEP 1: Follow the instructions on the brownie mix package to make the brownies. Mix the batter, pour into a parchment lined pan, and bake for the time indicated. Allow brownies to cool for 20 minutes before removing them from the pan. To easily remove the brownies, pull them up and out by the parchment paper.
STEP 2: Transfer the brownies to a serving plate and slice into 12 pieces.
STEP 3: On each tombstone, write a phrase and insert 1 tombstone into each brownie slice. Arrange the edible bones and other candy chosen as desired.
Tombstone Phrase Ideas
- R.I.P
- S.O.S
- Get Me Outta Here!
- Just Sleepin'
- No Time for Rest!
- Don't Leave Me Here!
- I'll Be Back!
- Help Me Out!
- Please Don't Go!
More Graveyard Decoration Ideas
In addition to the candy bones, add more Halloween candy decor like:
- Candy corn
- Candy pumpkins
- Gummy worms or skulls
- Candy flowers or flower bouquets made from frosting to give the creepy graveyard look a little happiness
How To Store
Store your graveyard brownies at room temperature for up to 3 days. They will be taste freshest the day they are made. Leftover brownies can be frozen (without the candy) for up to 6 months.
Enjoy!
