We are super excited for the release of the new Hocus Pocus movie this year! To celebrate I have created all sorts of nostalgic treats; like these Sanderson sister rice krispies, Hocus Pocus punch, spellbook brownies, Jinx the cat cookies, zombie Billy chocolate dipped pretzels and a whole Hocus Pocus dessert board.
A Hocus Pocus refresher:
The Sanderson sisters are the main characters of the 1993 film, Hocus Pocus. They run amuck with their evil spell book and henchmen Billy Butcherson while hunting children and turning one into Binx, an immortal black cat.
This recipe is full of rich chocolate flavour with a mixture of brownie batter dough, melted chocolate and candy eyes. This fun brownie recipe is one of our family favorites!
What are brownie bars?
These bars are most often made from a combination of brownie batter and cookie dough that is baked in a square pan. Once cooled they are cut into bars or squares for easy serving.
Be sure to check out some of our other brownie recipes like these; Chocolate Chip Brownie Bars, Edible Brownie Batter or Chocolate Chip Oreo Brownie Bars.
This hocus pocus spellbook brownie recipe is super easy to make and take to parties and events! These fudgy brownies are chock full of chocolate goodness and are the ultimate brownies to make as a halloween dessert.

Ingredients:
- 1 box Betty Crocker Brownie Mix
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 egg
- 2 oz black candy melts
- 1/4 cup large candy eyes
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees f.
2. Line the bottom of a square 8 inch x 8 inch non stick baking dish with parchment paper.
3. In a large bowl with an electric mixer or stand mixer with paddle attachment; combine brownie mix, water, oil and egg. Mix on medium speed until a smooth brownie batter is formed.
4. Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly around the square pan.
5. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
6. Allow the brownies to cool for at least one hour.
7. Cut the brownie into 12 rectangular shape bars.
8. In a small bowl, melt the chocolate in the microwave at 15 second intervals until smooth.
Tip: black icing can be used rather than melting chocolate wafers.
9. Spoon the melted chocolate into a piping bag or bottle with a small icing tip.
Tip: a freezer bag with the tip of a corner cut off would work too.
10. Add spell book details to the top of each brownie with the melted chocolate.
Draw a binding, scars and cracks on the “book”.
11. Finally, add a candy eye to the top of the brownie with a drop of melted chocolate.
This great recipe makes 12 deliciously, chewy brownies. These decadent treats are seriously a must make next time you’re looking for a fun halloween dessert!
How to store chocolate chip brownie bars:
Store these Hocus Pocus brownie bars in a large freezer bag or airtight container for a week at room temperature or in the freezer for up to three months. You can also store leftovers in the pan with a bit of plastic wrap or wax paper overtop.
These delicious brownies are full of great flavour and a chewy texture that is to die for, maybe not literally! The secret to making this fudgy brownie recipe is to under bake the bars just slightly so that they are the perfect balance of fudge brownie and chocolate design.
This fun Hocus Pocus dessert recipe is perfect for satisfying a sweet tooth and pairs amazingly with a scoop of ice cream. This is sure to become a favorite halloween brownie recipe because it always has rave reviews from fans of the movie!
