Jack-O’-Lantern Brownies

• 3/4 cup butter, melted
• 1-1/2 cups sugar
• 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

1. In a large bowl, beat butter, sugar and vanilla until well blended. Beat in eggs. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; gradually add to butter mixture and mix well.
2. Line a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan with waxed paper; grease the paper. Spread batter evenly in pan. Bake at 350u0b0 for 18-22 minutes or until brownies begin to pull away from sides of pan. Cool on a wire rack.
3. 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.)
4. 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 to decorate the faces if desired.
