"Brownies are good on all occasions. These Jack-o-Lantern Brownies are simple and easy to decorate!" - Elizabeth Fleming

Ingredients:
1-1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup butter or margarine (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 (16oz) 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 sugar to the mixture. Line a greased 13 X 9 X 2 inch baking pan with waxed paper; grease the paper. Spread the batter evenly in the pan. Bake a 350 degrees for 18-22 minutes or until the brownies begin to pull away from the sides of the pan. Cool on a wire rack.

Run a knife around the edge of the pan. Invert brownies onto a work surface and remove waxed paper. Cut brownies with a 3 inch pumpkin cookie cutter, leaving at least 1/8 inch between each shape. (Discard scraps or save for another use.) Tint frosting with orange food coloring and decorate!!
