Note: I make this brownie every year as our Halloween night treat. We don't do Halloween in the traditional sense. Instead of trick or treating and costumes, we have sneaky treat. We turn out all the lights, watch a fun video, eat snacks in the living room and the boys get an envelope of money with the money amount that we would have spent on costume and candy. I couldn't find my picture of last year's brownie which was one of my favorites since the boys decorated it for me, so I borrowed this one off of the Taste of Home website. Just like carving pumpkins, this is a great way to let your kids express themselves!
