    Recipe Introduction


    Posted by: Redraspberrygirl
    Use a cookie cutter to easily cut these homemade chocolate brownies into pumpkin shapes, then give them personality with orange, black and green frosting. "Our grandchildren thought these were great!" writes Flo Burtnett from her home in Gage, Oklahoma.

    List of Ingredients




    1-1/2 cups sugar
    3/4 cup butter, melted
    1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    3 eggs
    3/4 cup all-purpose flour
    1/2 cup baking cocoa
    1/2 teaspoon baking powder
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1 can (16 ounces) vanilla frosting
    Orange paste food coloring
    Green and black decorating gel
    Candy corn and milk chocolate M&M's, optional

    Recipe



    In a large mixing bowl, beat the sugar, butter and vanilla until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs until well blended. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; gradually add to sugar mixture.
    Line a greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking pan with waxed paper; grease the paper. Spread batter evenly in pan. Bake at 350° for 18-22 minutes or until brownies begin to pull away from sides of pan. Cool on a wire rack.
    Run a knife around edge of pan. Invert brownies onto a work surface and remove waxed paper. Cut brownies with a 3-in. pumpkin cookie cutter, leaving at least 1/8 in. between each shape. (Discard scraps or save for another use.) Tint frosting with orange food coloring; frost brownies. Use green gel to create the pumpkin stems and black gel and candy corn and M&M's if desired to decorate the faces.

    Yield: about 1 dozen.
