Oh, April fools – a trickster’s favorite holiday! At Corwin, we decided to throw a brownie and kool-aid party to really get in the spirit of the holiday! This week we’ll be playing a practical joke on anyone gullible enough to enjoy some brownies and juice. Here’s the catch – the “brownies” are actually BROWN “E”s cut from construction paper and the “juice” is jiggly jello!

But don’t leave your facility high and dry! Make a secret batch of brownies to give to your residents after they discover the decoy Brown “E”s. Leave the cups of jello as a snack and offer actual cups of kool-aid to drink.

You will need:

• 2 brownie pans
• aluminum foil
• brown construction paper
• “E” Template
• Brownie Mix
• Vegetable Oil
• Eggs
• Jello Mix
• Kool-Aid
• Clear Plastic Cups
• Straws

The Jello Juice

1. We used the strawberry jello mix to make our “jello-juice.”
2. Follow the instructions on the box.
3. Pour jello mixture into clear plastic cups.
4. Insert straws.
5. Allow a few hours to chill in the fridge.

The Decoy Brown “E”s

1. Right Click, Save Image As and Print the “E” Template that we’ve provided.
2. Cut out the “E”s.
3. Trace “E”s on brown construction paper.
4. Cut out the Brown “E”s.
5. Fill a brownie pan with the decoy “E”s.
6. Cover pan with Aluminum Foil.

The Actual Brownies

1. Use whatever brownie mix of your choice. (We used Betty Crocker)
2. Follow the instructions on the back of the box.
3. Bake the brownies.
4. Cover the pan with aluminum foil.
5. Hide these somewhere close by the decoy brown “E”s to throw off your residents’ sense of smell!

Now all that’s left for you to do is sit back, relax and watch those gullible fools dig in! Don’t forget to save yourself a brownie!
