How To Make Graveyard BrowniesLine a 9"x 9" baking pan with foil or parchment paper, and grease with cooking spray. Allow the parchment paper to hang over the sides of the pan, this will be used as a sling for easy brownie removal later. 

Prepare the brownie mix per the instructions on the box or if you're using a homemade recipe, follow the recipe as it's written. Follow the baking times for a 9" x 9" pan.

Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool for about 5 minutes, but do not let them cool completely.

While the brownies are still very warm, add 1 cup of Nutella to the top. Using an offset spatula or a spoon, spread the Nutella evenly over the top of the brownies. 

Allow the brownies to finish cooling completely.

While the brownies cool, you can make your tombstones and full moons!

Making the Full Moon CookiesHeat your vanilla candy coating in the microwave or in a heatproof bowl set over barely simmering water. Melt and stir until completely smooth.

Grab 12 mini white fudge-covered Oreos and your Halloween sprinkles.

Using a toothpick, spread a little of the melted vanilla candy coating on the front of your mini Oreo. Working quickly, place 2-3 bat sprinkles on the candy coating to stick. Now it looks like you have bats flying in the moonlight!

Repeat until all 12 mini cookies have bats attached.

Once your bats have adhered, flip over your moon cookies and add a little dollop of melted candy coating to the back. This will be the "glue" to stick your toothpicks to the cookies.

Place a toothpick in the candy coating and press down to submerge. Add more melted coating if needed to make sure the toothpick really sticks.

Repeat this process until all the toothpicks are glued to the back of your full moon cookies. Pop in the fridge for 5 minutes to set.

Making The Milano Cookie TombstonesGrab your halved Milano cookies, a fork, and line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper.

After making your full moons, you may need to remelt your candy coating. You can do this by microwaving for 10 seconds, or putting the candy back over a pan of simmering water for a few minutes.

Once the vanilla candy coating is melted and smooth again, add in your black chocolate-friendly food coloring (if using). Add a little at a time to reach the desired shade of tombstone gray.

Using a fork, dip the Milano cookies into your gray vanilla candy coating. Ensure that the cookie is completely coated and shake off any excess coating back into the bowl. Place dipped cookies onto the parchment or wax paper lined cookie sheet.

Repeat the dipping and coating process until all 12 cookies are coated.

These will start to set pretty immediately, but 5 minutes in the fridge will set them completely.

Once the tombstones are completely set, place 1 tablespoon of Nutella into a pastry bag or a ziploc bag. Cut the tip off the bag just enough so that you can pipe very thin lines. This is how you'll write on the tombstones!

Pipe "RIP" or any design you like on the tombstone cookies to make spooky graves. Set aside.

Assembling the Graveyard BrowniesThis is the fun part! Grab your crushed Oreos, sprinkles, tombstones, and moons!

Once the brownies have completely cooled, remove them from the pan using your parchment or foil sling. Discard the parchment paper and set the brownies on a cutting surface.

Trim the edges to make an even square, and cut your brownies into 9 equal squares.

Place a cookie tombstone onto the brownie, sinking it in a little for support. 

Stick your full moon into the brownie behind the tombstone (so that the tombstone hides most of the toothpick).

Using your crushed Oreo cookies, sprinkle some graveyard dirt in front of the cookie tombstone, for a fresh grave effect.

Then go nuts adding your sprinkles! Add bugs in and around the dirt, leave some candy skulls here and there. Some ghosts...wherever your ghoulish heart leads you!

You can also use the Nutella in the piping bag to glue spiders and bones to the Milano cookie graves.

Let your creativity fly and have fun!
