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.

Hickory-Honey Ham...Christmas With The Kranks

  I got this Christmas movie cookbook during our 2022 holiday to LA see  here  and I still haven't made anything from it, so for our Christmas in July, I thought I would try the Hickory-Honey ham from the movie Christmas with The Kranks. Scenes from the movie where Nora is running towards the last ham in the store, only to be outsmarted by an elderly lady. I managed to get a couple of reduced shoulder hams from woolies back in May so this gave me an excuse to try a recipe from the book. We also got some Hickory smoking chips for the BBQ. It is a ham that has been smoked over Hickory wood chips for several hours, served with a honey gravy, not out of a tin which it is in the movie. Ingredients 8 cups hickory or other hardwood chips 2 large aluminum foil pans 1 (4kg) fully cooked  bone in ham 1/4 cup salted butter 1 shallot, minced 1/3 cup honey 1/4 cup dark brown sugar 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard 1 tsp ground ginger 1/...

Corned Beef Stovies

  We love stovies, the perfect comfort food for cold evenings and an ideal way to use up leftover meats.

Add onions and fry until golden. 3.  Add sliced potatoes, beef stock and crumbled oxo cube. Stir to combine ingredients well. Cover with lid, turn heat up to medium-high, bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, simmer, stirring every few minutes. Cook for 40-50 minutes or until potato is soft and tender. 4.  Using a potato masher, roughly break the potatoes into smallish pieces. Cut corned beef into small chunks. Add to potatoes, season with salt and pepper. Stir until well combined and corned beef has brea...
