Down by the Old Cemetery

Anyone else remember that old softball cheer? (I'm probably dating myself, actually).

Anyway, with Amelia's sudden interest in all things cemetery AND with me scoring a tombstone candy making kit at 90% off last year after Halloween, I thought we'd make a dessert combining her love of candy and death.

I made some brownies and then started delegating jobs to Amelia. First, she was in charge of making the icing a nice cemetery grass color.

Then, she was in charge of spreading it around on the brownies.

At some point after that, I asked her to use a rolling pin to break up a bag full of Oreo cookies. That didn't even last long enough for me to get a picture, however...

And, from then on out, Amelia became my official spatula licker. As you can see, I've taught her well!

Our simple, yet spooky, finished cemetery. I have to say that I am not sure why I have been eating brownies without frosting for all of these years. I am pretty sure I will not be going back to that again...like ever.
