Cook Time: 44 min
Yield: 9 brownie clowns

Ingredients:

BROWNIES
1 (19.5 oz.)package Pillsbury® Classic Traditional Fudge Brownie
1/2cup Crisco® Pure Vegetable Oil
1/4cup water
2 large eggs
CLOWNS
4 1/2cups ice cream, any flavor
9 sugar ice cream cones
Assorted candies

1 (16 oz.)can Pillsbury® Classic White Frosting, or any flavor, chilled

Preparation Directions:

 Brownies
1.HEAT oven to 350°F. Position a rack in the lower third of the oven. Line an 8 x 8-inch baking pan with foil, extending foil over sides of pan.
2.MIX brownie mix, oil, water and eggs in medium bowl with a wooden spoon until well blended. Spread batter into prepared pan.
3.BAKE 40 to 44 minutes or until toothpick inserted 2 inches from side of pan comes out clean or almost clean (do not overbake). Transfer to wire rack and cool 10 minutes. While brownies are still warm, remove to a cutting board, lifting by foil.
4.CUT into 9 squares. Using the bottom of a small glass, gently press and twist to form a half-inch deep indentation into the middle of each brownie. Cool completely. Peel off foil.
 CLOWN ASSEMBLY
1.PLACE a rounded scoop of ice cream in center of each brownie, using a 1/2-cup ice cream scoop. Press down slightly to secure. Place cone, wide end down, on top of ice cream to form hat. Freeze until firm.
2.REMOVE clowns from freezer. Press candies into ice cream to form eyes and nose, and licorice to form mouth. Using chilled frosting, decorating bag and star tip, make collar around ice cream and decorate the edges of the cone hats. Freeze until firm before serving.
