Decadent halloween brownies

2      cups          (4 sticks) unsalted butter
  16      ounces        chocolate chips
   6      ounces        unsweetened chocolate
   6                    eggs
   2      tablespoons   instant espresso powder
   2      tablespoons   vanilla extract
   2 7/8  cups          sugar
   1      cup           flour
   1      tablespoon    baking powder
   1      teaspoon      salt
   2      cups          chocolate chips
   2      cups          chopped walnuts
   1      tub           prepared vanilla frosting
   1      tub           prepared chocolate frosting
                        Orange food coloring (or mix red and
                        yellow)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt together butter, chocolate chips and 
unsweetened chocolate in top of double boiler until smooth. Set aside 
and allow to cool to room temperature.

In large bowl, whisk together eggs, espresso powder, vanilla and sugar. 
Stir in cooled chocolate mixture; combine well. Stir in flour, baking 
powder and salt. Mix until combined. Fold in chocolate chips and 
walnuts. Pour into buttered 15-by-10-inch baking pan.

Bake 30 minutes in preheated oven. Let cool completely in pan on rack. 
Cover and
chill overnight.

In large bowl, whip vanilla frosting until light and fluffy, using 
electric mixer. Use food coloring to dye frosting deep orange color. 
Using favorite cookie cutters such as pumpkins, cats or leaves, cut 
shapes out of chilled brownies, carefully loosening from pan with 
spatula. Decorate brownies with frosting. Makes about 1 dozen.
