THE CAVENDER DIARY

Everybody loves S’mores.

Why limit them just to summer campfires?

Try our Halloween brownie version……..staring Ghost Peeps. The only candy with a cult following.

For the Graham Cracker crust start with:

• 1 Cup Crushed Graham Crackers
• 1/4 Cup Brown Sugar
• 4 TBS Melted Butter

Mix everything together and smash into the bottom of a 9X9 greased baking dish.

Pop it into a 375 degree oven for about 4 minutes to “crisp it up”.

Then mix a box of chocolate brownie mix according to the package directions and bake it on top of the graham cracker crust. (HINT: Instead of oil…use melted butter. You’ll thank me)

Chill in the fridge overnight, then remove the single large brownie from the pan and spread a layer of chocolate icing across the top.

Not too much. Just enough to hold the ghost Peeps in place.

Ohhh yeah, the Peeps.

Use a sharp, wet knife to slice the ghosts apart…..and line the little guys across the frosted brownies. Pressing in gently.

15 ghosts will line-up across a 9X9 brownie just perfectly.

Now the fun part.

PLAYING WITH FIRE!!!!!!!

I’ve had this hand-held kitchen torch for years. Not something I use that often.

I set it on the lowest flame setting a pass it around the edges of the marshmallow Peeps. Charing them just a little.

It works best if the brownies are cut apart.

Also……. avoid the ghost faces. The heat melts their tiny little eyes.

Peeps never tasted so good…

Or RICH,

You’ll want a glass of milk with these..

And, as always, you’re welcome.
