Quick and Easy Halloween Brownies
- Author: Emily
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 20-25 minutes
- Total Time: 35 minutes
- 1 box brownie mix (plus ingredients listed on the box—typically eggs, oil, and water)
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips or candy melts (for ghost designs)
- 1/2 cup orange candy melts (for pumpkin designs)
- Candy eyes (for ghosts and monsters)
- Sprinkles, colored icing, or candy decorations (for spooky designs)
- Black decorating gel (for detailing)
- Prepare the Brownies:
- Preheat your oven according to the instructions on your boxed brownie mix. Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- Prepare the brownie batter according to the package instructions. Pour the batter into the greased baking pan and spread evenly.
- Bake the brownies as directed on the box, typically for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow them to cool completely in the pan.
- Cut into Shapes:
- Once the brownies are cooled, cut them into squares or rectangles for easy decorating. If you prefer, you can use Halloween-shaped cookie cutters (like ghosts or pumpkins) for fun shapes.
- Decorate the Ghosts:
- Melt the white chocolate chips or white candy melts in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth.
- Use a spoon or piping bag to drizzle the melted white chocolate over several brownies to make ghostly shapes. Add two candy eyes to each ghost.
- Use black decorating gel to draw little mouths on the ghosts.
- Decorate the Pumpkins:
- Melt the orange candy melts in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Spread the orange candy melt over some of the brownie squares. Use black decorating gel to add jack-o’-lantern faces. Add green icing or candy for the pumpkin stems.
- Create Monster Brownies:
- Spread different colored icing or melted chocolate on the remaining brownies.
- Add candy eyes and use black decorating gel to draw monster mouths, scars, or other creepy details.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Let the decorations set for about 10 minutes, then serve your spooky Halloween brownies!
