Betty's Easy Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C for fan assisted ovens)/Gas Mark 4. Grease and line a 20cm x 30cm rectangular cake tin.
  2. Mix the egg, water, oil and brownie mix together in a large bowl until well blended (mixture may be lumpy).
  3. Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared tin. Bake in the centre of the oven for about 20-25 minutes or until a round bladed knife, inserted 5cm from the edge of the tin, comes out almost clean. Allow to cool on a wire rack.
  4. Turn the brownie out onto a serving plate or board, remove the baking paper and spread the icing over the top and sides. Place the chocolate sticks around the sides to make a rickety fence.
  5. Write messages with the writing icing pen onto the sandwich bars, then push into the brownie as gravestones. Sprinkle the crushed biscuit crumbs around the base of each gravestone as soil.

Betty's Tips

  • You can use chocolate fingers as an alternative to chocolate sticks.
  • Any chocolate biscuit can be used for the gravestones. Rectangular ones mean you don’t have to shape them but you could use round biscuits and trim the sides if you can’t find anything else
