This week I saw a really cute recipe for Pumpkin colored brownies on The Frugal Girls.com. I posted the link to share with my Facebook friends. Some pointed out that that was a lot of added coloring! My Facebook friend, Lisa, over at Retro Housewive Goes Green said "Having asthma I can't do yellow dye #5 and I seem to have issues with blue dyes. Plus they are linked to all kinds of health issues (lots are banned in other countries). She gave me a link to find natural dyes over at the Natural Candy Store.
I do understand about all the dye. These homemade pumpkins really do look yummy?
Again these belong to The Frugal Girls.com so click picture to visit!My daughter and I decided for school that we would make some. We chose to do GHOST so not to use all the food coloring. She also wanted to make pumpkins and decided to just use the white butter cream frosting on them too!
Here is our quick recipe makeover:
*Make your favorite brownies into a 9 X 13 pan.
*When cooled use your cookie cutters. Try to fit each piece in tight to not waste any brownies! We were able to get 12 cut-outs.
*We made buttercream frosting. Do this while the brownies are cooling. You can also buy frosting.
*Once cooled and cut out then frost and EAT! We do not like gobs of frosting so we lightly frosted ours.
