Here are our One Eyed Purple people eaters. We added some hair and unibrows as well.
and I just played with the saturation to make them a little spookier!
Our little group of ghosts
And my skulls (probably my least fave of the group)
Yes I am a cannibal. I had to take a bite out of crime. And boy did it taste good!
I just baked up some brownies and let them cool.
Cut the edges out of the pan.
Rolled the brownies into little balls (helps to do it while they are still a bit warm). And then shaped them into the shapes I wanted to create.
Stick the rolled shapes into the fridge for about 30 mintues.
Melt some chocolate melts of your wanted color or flavor. If it isn't thin enough for smooth coating you can add some shortening to help thin it out more.
Dip brownie bites into chocolate. (I put them on lollipop sticks. If you do this dip the end of the stick into the melted chocolate and then insert into brownie bite. It helps hold the stick in a little better.) Shake off excess chocolate and then put it aside to dry and harden. (See Bakeralla site for more details on how to do this well.)
Then decorate. I couldn't find a black food safe pen(I searched everywhere, may need to order online) so I used black gel icing and some "easy squeeze" icing by Betty Crocker. The gel icing takes a long time to set but looks pretty good. The easy squeeze was not easy whatsoever. I may have gotten a bad tube but it was so hard to squeeze that I didn't really get any out. I even microwaved it for a few seconds (after kneading as directed for over 10 min) to warm it up but it didn't help.
The kids had a blast doing it. The brownie bites were much easier to put together than the cake pops. Less steps and they set up better. And they tasted SO GOOD!
