Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted

  • 2 cups granulated sugar

  • 4 large eggs

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

  • ½ tsp baking powder

  • ½ tsp salt

Decorations

  • Crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (Oreos) – for “dirt”

  • Oval or rectangular cookies (Milano, graham crackers) – for tombstones

  • Black icing or melted chocolate – to write “RIP”

  • Candy bones or skeleton sprinkles

  • Gummy zombie hands or gummy worms


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.

  3. Sift flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Gently fold into the wet mixture.

  5. Cool completely, then cut into squares (or leave as one large sheet).

  6. Sprinkle crushed cookies on top to create “dirt.”

  7. Add tombstone cookies, candy bones, and gummy zombie hands for decoration.

  8. Serve and enjoy your spooky graveyard brownies!

Notes
