Brownie Parfait
Make these for any occasion. They don’t have to be for Halloween. Leave the ghosts off and pile some yummy whipped topping on instead. Skip the orange candy beads. You could also drizzle some caramel into the layers if you are that brave!
Vanilla Pudding Options
I used Vanilla pudding, but you can use any flavor you enjoy. Caramel pudding would be yummy too! Imagine caramel pudding layered between fresh brownies with nuts and topped off with a big pile of whipped cream! Dust the whipped cream with a touch of cinnamon!
You can also substitute vanilla ice cream for the pudding.
