(After baking cake, leave oven on to bake cookie "lid"). Cool cake 10 minutes on wire rack; invert cake onto wire rack and remove pan. Cool completely.

Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool slightly. With large spatula, carefully remove cookie to wire rack. Cool completely.

Line inside of "coffin" with bar pieces. Place frosting in bowl. Stir in cocoa until well blended. Frost entire outside of coffin and top of cookie lid. Fill center of coffin with assorted wrapped candies. Unwrap some candies and decorate lid. Prop up one side of lid with wooded skewer or popsicle sticks wrapped with Pull-n-Peel candy

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350°F. Line 13x9-inch pan with foil, leaving foil overhanging at 2 opposite sides of pan. Make and bake brownie mix as directed on box for cakelike brownies, using water, oil and eggs. Cool completely in pan on cooling rack, about 1 hour. Freeze 10 minutes.
- Use foil to lift brownies out of pan and invert onto work surface. With 5x2 1/2-inch coffin-shaped cookie cutter, cut 8 coffins from brownies. (Rotate cookie cutter top to bottom and then bottom to top, making cutouts as close together as possible.) Cut each coffin in half horizontally with serrated knife. For each coffin, spread about 2 tablespoons frosting on bottom half of brownie. Arrange 8 bone sprinkles and 1 candy skull on frosting to look like skeleton inside coffin. Outline top of each coffin with white icing. Pipe RIP in center with icing. Place coffin tops, cut sides down and slightly off center, on coffin bottoms.
- Sprinkle cookie crumbs on serving platter to look like dirt. Place coffins on crumbs. Serve or refrigerate.

SPOOKTACULAR HALLOWEEN GRAVEYARD CAKE
This is a great cake, perfect for Halloween parties, that is a take-off of the stand-by graveyard pudding. I noticed pudding is less popular than cake, and of course, cake is more suited for parties, especially those with kids. You can use your choice of cake flavor, but pay attention to the cookie crumbs you use in that case so they are compatible flavors. You also probably wouldn't want to use chocolate icing with a pumpkin cake, but if you wanted a pumpkin frosting, that would be good, or else use vanilla.You can use whipped cream to make the ghosties, but be aware that if you do this, the cake needs to remain chilled, and the whipped cream does try to sag and run after awhile (so don't do that too far in advance). The marshmallow ghosties are more durable at room temp. Those are often sold near displays of halloween candy, not necessarily by the bags of marshmallows.
