Description

These Halloween Brownies are a festive twist on classic brownies, topped with a rich homemade chocolate frosting and decorated with colorful Halloween candies to delight kids and adults alike. Perfect for parties or seasonal treats, they combine the fudgy texture of boxed brownies with a smooth, glossy chocolate topping that sets beautifully.

Ingredients

Scale

Brownies

  • 1 box brownie mix (prepared as directed on box)

Chocolate Frosting

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 6 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Decoration

  • Halloween candy (for decorating)

Instructions

  1. Bake the Brownies: Prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions and bake as directed. Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely before proceeding.
  2. Prepare the Chocolate Frosting Base: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar, butter, and milk. Whisk continuously until all ingredients are fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Boil the Mixture: Allow the butter-sugar-milk mixture to come to a boil and maintain a rolling boil for exactly 1 minute, whisking occasionally to prevent burning.
  4. Add Chocolate Chips: Remove the saucepan from the heat immediately after boiling. Whisk in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until the frosting is completely melted and smooth, creating a glossy chocolate topping.
  5. Frost the Brownies: Pour the warm chocolate frosting evenly over the cooled brownies, spreading gently to cover the surface.
  6. Decorate with Candy: Arrange your choice of Halloween-themed candies over the frosting to add a festive and colorful touch.
  7. Set the Frosting: Allow the frosted brownies to sit undisturbed for 1 hour, letting the chocolate topping set firmly before slicing.

Notes

  • Ensure brownies are completely cool before frosting to prevent melting the frosting.
  • Use any Halloween candies such as candy corn, mini pumpkins, or gummy spiders for decoration.
  • The frosting will harden as it cools, so work quickly when spreading to avoid clumps.
  • You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark or milk chocolate depending on your preference.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
