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.
