I mean, when it comes to the Halloween spooky treats that I have made, this one is up there and one of my favorite fun halloween recipes. A rectangle shaped brownie is the perfect shape for a 3 grave, graveyard. You can use my easy brownie recipe, your favorite brownie recipe, or use a box of brownie mix, the choice is yours. Halloween baking fun is all in the decorating. Everyone loves fudgy chocolate brownies, why not turn them into something fun?
How to Make a Brownie Graveyard
The first step is the brownie dirt. This consists of a rectangle brownie made in a 9 x 13-inch (23 x 28 cm) baking dish (pictured below). 3 graves are chiseled out of the top of the brownie and the crumbs leftover create the mounds of dirt. If you need more dirt, you can crumble up Oreo cookies.

How to Make Cookie Tombstones
The tombstones/headstones are made using Pepperidge Farm Milano Cookies. Their shape are perfect for this and I made black icing of confectioners sugar and black food coloring to coat them and give them a ‘stone’ look. I then piped ‘RIP’ in melted chocolate. Any oval cookies will work if you can’t find Milano’s.
How to Make Grass Frosting
Green frosting (using white frosting that has green food color added) is piped using a 234 piping tip. Graveyard halloween brownies are a fun activity that your kids can help make (and eat) and will have so much fun doing it.
Serving spooky graveyard brownies
You can either prepare the graveyard in the prepared pan, or turn it out onto a larger serving platter. Either way, they are both easy to transport and it can sit a room temperature until it’s time to slice this large pan of brownies.
Optional Additions
Add some gummy worms or candy pumpkins.
Leftover Brownies
If you have any leftovers, you can wrap them up individually in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 5 days. Trick or treat yourself… Check out more of my Ghoulish goodies.
