I got this spooky treat idea from Kara's Kitchen Creations. She has lots o' spooky recipes on her blog right now. I should mention than I cheated though, because I made brownies from a box instead of Kara's cookie bar recipe. I was impatient and I wanted a canvas for my Frankenhead chop, chop! I even used canned frosting. I feel so dirty.
Nah, not really. I always make brownies from the box. They're best that way.
The best part about these Frankenheads, is that they were simple and fast to make. I cut the brownies into squares and then I frosted them with green frosting. How fun would it be to drop a little mint flavoring in the frosting?
You're supposed to use miniature marshmallows, cut in half, for the whites of the eyes. I really think they would be cuter that way, but I was too lazy to go looking for marshmallows so I just used more frosting. As a result, my Frankenheads look a little hopped up on drugs of some sort, don't you think? Or maybe it's just a sugar high. The eyes look pretty dang crazy.
The hair, mouth and pupils are just chocolate frosting, piped on haphazardly. You could totally whip up a batch of these for a Halloween party and still have time to do your nails. Are you game?

Aren't you working full time? When do you have time to do all this stuff? I only work part time -- and AT HOME -- and I barely have time to make brownies, let alone decorate them AND do my nails...
Hey, but they are adorable...
HOW CUTE and what a GREAT idea! Thanks for sharing! :o)
These turned out so cute and they look yummy too!
TOTALLY making this for my Halloween party. TOTALLY!
Thanks for sharing!
PS. Yes, they do look a little bit high. But that's okay! I would eat them anyway.
Great job. Love all of the super short cuts you took. Fabulous. I'm going to keep the link...have a feeling my 11 year old will want to make these...then I'll get to eat them:) Come on by for a visit. Have a great day. Holly at lifelaughlatte.blogspot.com

Also I wanted to let you know there is an award for you on my blog, stop by and grab it when you get the chance. http://justanarmywifejustamommy.blogspot.com/2009/10/my-first-blog-award.html
I saw these earlier and meant to comment, they are so darn cute! I should have been more creative when my kids were younger, but there is always the grand kids!
Freaky deaky was my first thought, or I could age myself and say cool!
Ohh those look so yummy!!! I'm not creative at all so I have a hard time coming up with ideas on my own...but love borrowing other people's!
Love the brownies! Too cute! By the way, I am working on a hoe to post now that explains screen shots for you- although it may be tomorrow before I get it posted. And thanks for the compliment! ;)
You crack me up, lol. I'm glad for the suggestions... I can never think of any tutorials to do, so keep 'em coming!
I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoy your blog and I've passed an award on to you. :-) If you'd like you can pick it up in my blog. :-D
I saw Kara's and yours are just as cute! Very neat! Stopping by from SITs. In honor of Halloween I have ghost stories all week on my blog.
wow, those turned out great! I'm trying to get caught up in all my blog-reading now, and I see you've been up to all sorts of wonderful things as usual--I love your BOO!kmarks, especially. You are so, so genius.
These are adorable and I love the brownie substitute. But then a chocolate addict like me would...
