Night of The Living Dead Brownie Cake

Jodie and myself have been putting our heads together to come up with things that we could make for Halloween. Trawling the ever handy internet for ideas. Jodie suggested a brownie graveyard with gravestones so we decided to put the two together and make a brownie gravestone with 'someone' trying to get out of a coffin...
Hence..The night of the living dead!

It's not the cough that carries you off-it's the coffin they carry you off in! 😁

My gran used to say that to us kids when ever we had a cough!

To make the shape of the headstone, Jodie fashioned some some tinfoil into a gravestone shaped mould in which I poured the white chocolate and a little swirl of black food colour.

Then cut the brownie into a coffin shape.

The outside texture of the brownie gave a fantastic creepy effect, which I thought was perfect for how I wanted the overall appearance to look.

Ingredients

1 brownie tray bake kit

5 chocolate finger biscuits

white chocolate melts

5 almonds, halved length ways

Method

1.  Make brownie tray bake according to packet directions.

2.  Make a gravestone shaped mould out of tin foil.

3.  Melt some white chocolate melts according to packet directions. Split into 2 separate bowls. Add a little black food colouring to one bowl and swirl it around a little. Pour into gravestone mould. Allow to set.

4.  Add some red food colouring to the other bowl of melted chocolate. Combine to make a pinkish skin colour.  Dip finger biscuits into the melted chocolate then add an almond 'finger nail' to each. Allow to set.

5.  Cut the brownie in the shape of a coffin. Gently push the 'fingers' into the cake. Crumble some leftover brownie and sprinkle over the fingers to resemble earth.

6.  Using a black food colouring pen, write R.I.P onto the gravestone. Place on the coffin.

Enjoy a creepy Halloween 🎃
