Brownie Base
- 1 box brownie mix (including ingredients required on the box, typically eggs, oil, and water)
Toppings
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- Black gel icing or melted dark chocolate for spider details
Instructions
- Prepare Brownies: Follow the instructions on your brownie mix box to prepare the batter. Typically, this involves combining the brownie mix with eggs, oil, and water. Pour the batter evenly into a greased baking pan.
- Bake and Cool: Bake the brownies according to the package directions until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow them to cool completely, ensuring the toppings won’t melt when applied.
- Create Spiderweb Design: Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler until smooth. Transfer the melted chocolate into a piping bag or a plastic bag with the tip cut off. Pipe spiral circles starting from the center outwards on the cooled brownies.
- Form the Web Pattern: Using a toothpick or skewer, drag lines from the center of each white chocolate spiral outward to the edges, creating a spiderweb effect. Repeat this pattern across the entire surface of the brownies.
- Add Spider Details: With black gel icing or melted dark chocolate, carefully draw small spiders on some of the webs to enhance the spooky theme.
- Serve: Once decorated, cut the brownies into 12 equal squares and serve as a festive treat.
Notes
- Ensure brownies are completely cooled before decorating to prevent melting of the white chocolate and icing.
- If you don’t have black gel icing, melted dark chocolate works well for spider details.
- Use a toothpick to gently drag lines through the white chocolate to create a neat web pattern.
- These brownies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
