Our kids beg for these big brownies every year. I just bake brownie batter in a pizza pan, spread with orange-tinted frosting and let the kids design a pumpkin stem and jack-o'-lantern face using candy. —Darla Wester, Meriden, Iowa

Ingredients

1 package fudge brownie mix (13x9-inch pan size)
1 can (16 ounces) vanilla frosting
Orange paste food coloring
9 green milk chocolate M&M's
57 dark brown milk chocolate M&M's

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. Prepare brownie batter according to package directions for fudgelike brownies. Spread on a greased 12-in. pizza pan to within 1 in. of edges.
Bake 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack.
Tint frosting orange; frost brownie. For stem, arrange green M&M's in a square pattern at top of pumpkin. For each eye, arrange 10 brown M&M's in a triangle. For nose, arrange six brown M&M's in a triangle. Arrange remaining M&M's for a mouth.

Looked just like the picture and tasted great. I served it with ice cream to cut some of the sweetness.
