Ingredients:

• 1 pkg. brownie mix, prepared according to pkg.
• chocolate-filled sandwich cookies
• stick pretzels
• large Tootsie Rolls
• chocolate graham crackers, crushed
• pumpkin-shaped candy corn, optional
• candy corn, optional
• Dots (to make pumpkins), optional
• frosting
• knife
• scissors

Steps:

1. Prepare brownies according to package directions.

 
2. Once they are cool, frost them.

 
3. Put stick pretzels all around the outer edge of the pan, creating a fence.

 
4. Using a serrated knife, cut the sides off of the sandwich cookies.

   NOTE: We made some that were more angled so that they didn't all look the same.

5. Put the graham crackers into a baggie and seal it. Then using your hands, crush them into fine crumbs.

 
6. Push the cookie headstones into the brownies to create the graveyard. At the base of each headstone, sprinkle some of the cookie crumbs to make the graves.

 

 
7. If you want to make pumpkins out of Dots, sort out the colors you want to use. Using scissors, snip off pieces of a green one to create stems.

   NOTE: We didn't have enough orange ones so we also used yellow and red ones.

8. Stick the stems onto the Dots you selected.

 
9. To make spooky trees out of the large Tootsie Rolls, use scissors to cut one end to create roots. Then spread them out so that the tree can stand up.

 
10. Then snip little pieces up the trunk to create broken branches. If you find that the trees are too soft, stick them in the refrigerator for a few minutes to stiffen them up again.

11. Place your trees around the graveyard.
