JACK-O-LANTERN BROWNIES
Yields about 12 brownies
1-1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
1-1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
3 eggs
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup baking cocoa
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 can (16 oz.) vanilla frosting
Orange paste food coloring
Green and black decorating gel
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, butter and vanilla.  Beat in the eggs until well blended.  Combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; gradually add to sugar mixture.  Line a greased 13x9x2-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 to decorate the faces.
