Ingredients
- 1 box Betty Crocker Brownie Mix
- ¼ cup water
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 1 egg
- 2 oz black candy melts
- ¼ cup large candy eyes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees f.
- Line the bottom of a square 8 inch x 8 inch nonstick baking dish with parchment paper.
- 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.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly around the square pan.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Allow the brownies to cool for at least one hour.
- Cut the brownie into 12 rectangular shape bars.
- In a small bowl, melt the chocolate in the microwave at 15-second intervals until smooth.
- Spoon the melted chocolate into a piping bag or bottle with a small icing tip.
- Add spellbook details to the top of each brownie with the melted chocolate.
- Finally, add a candy eye to the top of the brownie with a drop of melted chocolate.
Notes
- Don’t overbake—pull the brownies out when they’re still slightly fudgy for maximum chew.
- Black icing can be used rather than melting chocolate wafers.
- Mix powdered sugar with a tiny splash of milk and food coloring to create a quick icing if you’re out of candy melts or frosting.
- If you don't have a piping bag, a freezer bag with the tip of a corner cut off would work too.
- Chill the brownies before decorating to make piping the designs easier.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container or wrap them up for the freezer.
- If you're gifting these, use parchment paper bags to package them like spooky spellbook scrolls!
