1

Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Line 9-inch square pan with foil, letting foil hang 2 inches over sides of pan. Spray foil with cooking spray. Make brownie batter as directed on box. Spread in pan.
2

Bake 28 to 31 minutes or until toothpick inserted 2 inches from side of pan comes out almost clean. Cool completely on cooling rack, about 1 hour 30 minutes.
3

Using foil to lift, remove brownie from pan, and peel foil away. In small bowl, stir frosting and food color until blended. Remove 1 tablespoon frosting; spoon into small resealable food-storage plastic bag; partially seal bag. Cut off tiny corner of bag; set aside.
4

Spread remaining frosting on top of brownie. Sprinkle crushed cookies in 4 rows on top of frosting, about a generous tablespoon per row. Sprinkle decors over top. Place candy pumpkins in 4 rows by 4 rows. Pipe small green lines for vines (see photo as guide).
5

Cut into 4 rows by 4 rows with one of the candy pumpkins in center of each brownie. Store covered in airtight container.

Expert Tips

Lining your pan with foil will make this dessert easy to serve and cleanup a breeze. Here’s how to do it: Turn your baking pan upside down, and tear off a piece of foil that’s longer than the pan. Smooth foil around the pan bottom and sides. Then remove, turn pan over and gently fit shaped foil into pan—voilà!
For an extra-impressive look, use a disposable piping bag with a small round tip to pipe vines and leaves around your pumpkins.
To easily crush cookies, place in a resealable food-storage plastic bag, and go over with a rolling pin.
To serve, cut with sharp knife, cleaning blade after each cut.
