Ingredients
  

For the Brownies
  • * 1 cup unsalted butter melted
  • * 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar
  • * 3 large eggs
  • * 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • * ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • * 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • * ½ teaspoon salt
  • * ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • * ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
For Decorating
  • * 1 cup chocolate frosting
  • * Candy eyes
  • * Orange Halloween sprinkles
  • * Black Halloween sprinkles
  • * Small white candy or icing decorations for ghosts
  • * Melted white chocolate for spiderweb designs

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar.
  3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and whisk until smooth.
  4. Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir gently until just combined.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  6. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  7. Bake for 23–27 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let the brownies cool completely before decorating.
  9. Spread a thin, even layer of chocolate frosting over the cooled brownies.
  10. Add candy eyes, orange and black sprinkles, and small white ghost decorations.
  11. Melt the white chocolate and pipe thin spiderweb patterns over some of the brownies.
  12. Let the decorations set, then cut into 16 squares and serve.
  13. * Don’t overbake the brownies if you want that fudgy center.
    * Let them cool completely before frosting so the frosting doesn’t melt.
    * For cleaner cuts, chill the brownies for 20–30 minutes before slicing.
    * You can use store-bought chocolate frosting to make this recipe faster.
