Step 2: 
Working quickly, squeeze batter to form 4 straight, thin lines that intersect at a common center point to form a star shape. To form cobweb, squeeze thin streams of batter to connect lines.

Step 4:
 Heat oven to 325ºF. Bake cookies on ungreased cookie sheet 5 to 7 minutes or until almost crisp (cookies will become crisp as they cool). Remove from cookie sheet; cool. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Store cookies in container with loose-fitting cover.

Halloween Scares: Frankenstein Brownies

Hey Guys! This Halloween recipe is for Frankenstein Brownies! I think that this is such a fun and cute idea and will be fun to make with everyone! I got the recipe here: http://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/frankenstein-brownies/20526dee-b07a-46eb-b93b-91bde4c5cb91?sc=All%20Halloween%20Recipes&term=Halloween&itemId=7471455f-ebd5-4fc8-9647-59309ea87fb5

Ingredients:

1

box (1 lb 2.4 oz) Betty Crocker® Original Supreme Premium brownie mix

Water, vegetable oil and egg called for on brownie mix box

1

cup Betty Crocker® Rich & Creamy vanilla frosting (from 16 oz container)

4

to 5 drops neon green food color

2

drops neon purple food color

24

candy corn

24

miniature candy-coated chocolate baking bits

Betty Crocker® black decorating gel (from 0.68-oz tube)

Step 1: 

Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark and nonstick pan). Grease bottom only of 8-inch or 9-inch square pan with cooking spray or shortening. (For easier cutting, line pan with foil, then grease foil on bottom only of pan.) Make and bake brownies as directed on box. Cool completely, about 1 1/2 hours. Cut into 4 rows by 3 rows to make 12 brownies.

Step 2: 

Divide frosting between 2 small bowls, placing a little more frosting in one bowl. Add green food color to the bowl with more frosting and purple food color to second bowl; mix both until blended. Frost 8 brownies with about 1 tablespoon green frosting; frost remaining brownies with purple frosting.

Step 3: 

Decorate each brownie with 2 candy corns for neck "bolts" and 2 candy-coated baking bits for eyes. Use decorating gel to add pupils to eyes and draw mouth and hair.
