Ingredients

Brownies

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 cups white granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Decorations

  • 10 ounces white melting wafers
  • Candy eyeballs

Instructions

  1. Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, making sure there’s enough overhang on the sides to easily lift out the brownies after baking. Lightly spray the parchment with cooking spray.
  2. Whisk the wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, vegetable oil, white granulated sugar, and brown sugar until combined and smooth. Then add the eggs and vanilla extract, and whisk vigorously for about one minute until the mixture is light and slightly frothy.
  3. Add the dry ingredients: Sift in the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gently fold these into the wet mixture, stirring just until barely combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the brownies tender.
  4. Stir in chocolate chips: Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips carefully until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  5. Bake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs. Take care not to overbake to ensure fudgy brownies.
  6. Cool: Let the brownies cool for about 30 minutes in the pan. Then lift them out using the parchment paper edges and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before decorating.
  7. Melt white chocolate: Place white melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on low power in 15 to 20 second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until smooth and fully melted.
  8. Decorate Mummy Brownies: Pour melted white chocolate into a zip-top bag and snip off a small corner. Pipe horizontal ribbons of chocolate back and forth over rectangular brownie pieces to mimic mummy bandages. Add candy eyeballs on top before the chocolate sets.
  9. Decorate Spider Web Brownies: Use a similar piping method on square brownie pieces: pipe long lines radiating from corners, then connect these lines with curves to form spider web shapes using the melted white chocolate.
  10. Decorate Ghost Brownies: Spoon small dime-sized circles of melted white chocolate onto brownie pieces. Use the back of a rounded spoon handle to smear the center downward, creating a ghostly shape. Place candy eyeballs before the chocolate hardens.
  11. Cut and serve: For spider web brownies, slice into squares; for mummy and ghost brownies, cut into rectangles. Enjoy these festive, spooky treats at your Halloween party or any fun occasion!

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to keep brownies tender and fudgy.
  • Keep an eye while baking; overbaking can dry out the brownies.
  • The melted white chocolate can be gently reheated if it begins to harden before decorating.
  • Use parchment paper with overhang to easily lift out brownies for cooling and cutting.
  • Customize decorations with other Halloween-themed candies or colored melting wafers for variety.
