1/2 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup plus unsweetened cocoa powder

Steps:

Then add flour and toasted almonds. Pour into a 10X10 parchment and butter lined baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes. Remove and chill until hard.
Once chilled, cut into 2 X 2.5 inch squares and stack two until you have 8. Using a little melted chocolate glue the two pieces together and trim edges with a knife until you have an egg like shape. Using the same knife cut little slices into the top all going the same direction (These will make inserting your almond slivers easier.
Dip almond slivers pointed end into melted chocolate chips then insert into your brownies until they look like pinecones. Using a bit of royal icing, pipe along top edges of pine cones to give it a realistic look. Once this is done spray with a little brown food coloring. Paint with edible gold along the ridges and adhere modeling chocolate eyes. Paint on pupils and highlights using edible paints and a fine brush.
