Easy,Halloween Treats!!




The eyeballs picture is cupcakes I could not find one of the brownies but it is the same idea!

Brain Cupcakes

1 batch of cupcakes (red velvet cake is fun)

Frosting: ½ cup of shortening, ½ cup butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 4 cups of powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons milk

Color the frosting gray with a little bit of black food coloring or use red, green and blue until you reach the desired color. Frost each cup cake with the gray frosting.

Using a round tip in your pastry bag (or cut a hole in the end of a sandwich bag) divide the cupcake in half and squiggle down each side to look like brains.

Cookie Ghosts and Mummies

1 package of Nutter butter cookies
1 package of white chocolate chips melted in the microwave 30 seconds at a time until smooth
Candy sugar eyes, small chocolate chips for eyes, or black icing for eyes

Dip the cookies into the melted chocolate and then place on parchment paper to set. Place the eyes while the chocolate is still wet. If you want to make a mummy, take white frosting and a thick line tip and do criss -crosses over the cookie until it looks like a mummy.

Brownie Eye Balls

1 pan of brownies baked soft
1 package each of red, green, blue and black color gel
½ package of white chocolate chips melted (for directions see above)

Take pieces of brownie and roll it in to a ball, dip it in melted white chocolate and place it on parchment to set. Then take the gel icing and put a round circle of blue or green in the middle of the eyeball. Place a black circle in the middle of the colored circle and then with the red gel draw blood shot veins.

Kitty Litter Brownies

1 new kitty litter box
1 new kitty litter scoop
1 pan of brownies baked soft
2 boxes of grape nut cereal

Place the cereal into the kitty litter box. Take chunks of brownie and mold into desired shapes. Roll the brownies around in the cereal until it looks appropriate. Serve with the kitty litter scoop! Trust me this is some funny “crap”!
