Thank you for sharing!

I have a serious Halloween obsession. But, I’m also a little lazy. I hate cooking things that take forever–and I certainly don’t like baking things that take forever and I don’t even get to eat. So, I like to make stuff that’s fast and fun, and that I can have as much as I want (and not end-up miserable and ill for a week). All of these desires collided this week and the result was Graveyard Cakemix Brownies. Stupidly simple, but so deliciously allergy-friendly and fun to make, I just couldn’t wait to share them. En-freakin’-joy, my friends. This is a good one.

One of the best parts of this recipe is truly that my entire family can eat it–with the exception of my husband who doesn’t like sweets all that much anyway. Which pretty much the awesomest thing ever. Because, seriously, Graveyard Cakemix Brownies are pretty hard to pass-up and I would have made myself sick if I’d eaten ones that had dairy…ugh, loooooong story.

Needless to say, it would be the perfect recipe for taking to my son’s school party. Since there’s no eggs or dairy and no gluten…like 90% of the kids could eat it. Which is so nice to not have to turn a kid away from a brownie.

What You Need to Make Graveyard Cakemix Brownies

 Simple Mills Chocolate Muffin & Cake Mix, 10.4 Ounce Glutino, Gluten Free Pretzel Sticks, 14.1oz Bag (Pack of 3) Enjoy Life Semi Sweet Chocolate Mini Chips, 10 oz

And don’t forget to toss together the headstones by making some Sugar Cookies that Don’t Spread (just use gluten-free flour, ok?)

So, pin this, so you can make these Graveyard Cakemix Brownies every year for your kids’ school parties. That way everyone there can enjoy them. Even the kids with food allergies like me. LOL!

• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 tspn vanilla extract
• 6 tblspn coconut oil or coconut butter

4. Place in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
