Instructions
- For the brownie:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
- Grease a 9 x 13 baking dish and line with parchment paper.
- Using a double boiler, or heatproof bowl over saucepan of water, heat butter and 6 ounces of the chocolate over low heat until melted, stirring gently. Turn of heat when melted, but keep bowl over saucepan to keep mixture warm.
- Mix the sugar into the butter and chocolate.
- In a separate mixing bowl, lightly beat the eggs and vanilla together.
- Add the eggs to the chocolate mixture and stir until fully mixed.
- Add the flour and baking powder to the chocolate mixture and mix until completely uniform.
- Chop the remaining 2 ounces of dark chocolate and mix into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly with a spatula.
- Bake for 1 hour or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted.
- Allow to cool completely in the pan, then remove using parchment paper to lift out.
- For the tombstones:
- In a bowl, mix the confectioners sugar with the milk until smooth.
- Add black food coloring (I used a toothpick to add a very small amount), in small amounts until the grey color is achieved.
- Smooth over the cookies and allow to dry on a cooling rack.
- For the skeletons:
- Melt the chocolate drizzle per package instructions and drizzle into the mold.
- Refrigerate until hardened then remove from mold.
- To assemble:
- Place brownie on a cutting board.
- Cut 3, 2¼ inch x 5 inch graves' in the brownie evenly spaced.
- Using a fork, rake out the brownie so it crumbles like soil, put into a bowl.
- Mound the 'soil' back into the 'graves'.
- Arrange skeleton parts in and around the 'graves'.
- Using a sharp knife, cut a small area of brownie out at the head of the graves and insert cookies into the brownie.
- In a mixing bowl, add the frosting and a few drops of green food coloring to achieve the desired color.
- Add to a piping bag using piping tip 233 and pipe 'grass' around the graves.
