Description
These intensely fudgy Halloween brownies are easy to make and perfect for decorating into ghoulishly delightful treats for any spooky celebration.
Ingredients
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (plus more for decorating)
Halloween sprinkles or candies for decoration (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides.
Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until well combined.
Step 3: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Step 4: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 5: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Step 6: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
Step 7: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Step 8: Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting out and cutting into squares.
Step 9: Once cooled, decorate with Halloween sprinkles, candies, or spooky frosting designs as desired.
Notes
For extra fudginess, slightly underbake and ensure brownies cool completely before cutting. Experiment with different Halloween candies for unique decorations!
