Directions

Step one
Preheat oven to 325°F. Spray bottom and sides of 17x11-inch rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Line pan with parchment, leaving overhang on the two long edges of the pan to help lift brownie out of pan once it has cooled.
-
Step two
Stir both brownie mixes, eggs, oil, and water together in large bowl until blended, about 50 strokes. Pour into pan and spread evenly. Bake 26 to 28 minutes, until toothpick inserted 1-inch from edge of pan comes out clean. Cool completely on wire rack.
-
Step three
Remove wrappers from candy. Place in a resealable bag and crush into fine crumbs. Line a baking sheet with foil. Pour candy out onto foil and make 2 rectangles about 1-1/2x2-1/2 inches each. Bake 3 to 5 minutes, until candy is melted. Cool completely.
-
Step four
Run a table knife around the edge of the brownie that is touching the pan. Gently lift brownie out of pan and onto serving surface. A piece of black poster board or a large cutting board will work well. Use a plastic knife to cut the brownie into a house shape. Carefully cut or tear away the visible parchment paper. Set brownie scraps aside.
-
Step five
Scoop about half of the frosting into a small bowl and dye it purple. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of white frosting into another small bowl and use yellow and orange food coloring to dye it for the moon. Scoop remaining white frosting into a piping bag or freezer bag; cut off a small corner of the bag.
-
Step six
Use purple frosting to frost the roof of your house and to make a door. Draw curved lines on the roof to make spider webs. Run a toothpick through the white frosting for a stringy spider web look. Place your candy rectangles on your house and outline them to make the windows. Frost the chimney with white frosting and decorate with HOT TAMALES® Candies to look like bricks.

Step seven
Use your brownie scraps to cut a moon and some gravestones; decorate with yellow-orange frosting and sprinkles as desired. Finish your brownie haunted house with PEEPS® Marshmallow Ghosts and Pumpkins!
