-------- ------------ --------------------------------
Brownies
1 box Betty Crocker® fudge brownie mix
Water -- vegetable oil and eggs called for on brownie mix box
3/4 cup butterscotch-flavored chips -- if desired
Caramel Frosting and Decorations
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup milk
2 cups powdered sugar
Pretzel sticks
Assorted Halloween candies
gumdrops or shaped marshmallow pieces -- such as bats, moons, pumpkins,
ghosts

Heat oven to 350°F. Line 13x9-inch pan with foil
so foil extends about 2 inches over ends of pan. Grease bottom only of
foil with shortening or cooking spray. In medium bowl, make brownie
batter as directed on box--except stir in butterscotch-flavored chips.
Spread in pan.
Bake as directed on box for 13x9-inch pan. Cool about 1 hour before

frosting.
In 2-quart saucepan, melt butter over medium
heat. Stir in brown sugar. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Reduce
heat to low. Boil and stir 2 minutes. Stir in milk. Heat to boiling;
remove from heat. Cool about 45 minutes or until lukewarm. Gradually
stir in powdered sugar. If frosting is too thin, place saucepan of
frosting in bowl of cold water. Beat frosting until smooth and thick
enough to spread. If frosting becomes too thick, stir in additional
milk, 1 teaspoon at a time.
Lift out foil and brownie from pan; carefully
remove foil. Spread frosting over brownie. Arrange pieces of pretzel
sticks to make tree and fence designs. Add candies to complete the
"scary night" landscape. For brownies, cut into 6 rows by 4 rows. Store
tightly covered.

Success
If using a dark or nonstick pan,
shorten the bake time by 3 minutes. If using an insulated pan, lengthen
the bake time by 7 minutes.

Variation
Try one of Betty's newer brownie mix
flavors, such as peanut butter, in this recipe. Just prepare the
brownies as directed on the box. Trick-or-treaters will find big chunks
of peanut butter-flavored chips in the brownies!
