Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Base
- 1 box brownie mix (plus ingredients listed on the box)
Decorations
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- Black gel icing or melted dark chocolate for spider details
Instructions
- Prepare Brownie Mix: Follow the instructions on the brownie mix box carefully, combining all the necessary ingredients. Pour the batter into a greased baking pan ensuring it is evenly spread.
- Bake the Brownies: Place the pan in a preheated oven and bake as directed on the package. Once baked, remove the brownies and let them cool completely to allow the decoration to set properly.
- Melt White Chocolate: Gently melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave or double boiler until smooth. Transfer the melted chocolate into a piping bag or a plastic bag with a small cut at the tip for easy piping.
- Create Spiderweb Design: Pipe spiral patterns over the cooled brownies. Using a toothpick, carefully drag lines from the center of each spiral outward to the edges, forming a spiderweb effect.
- Add Spider Details: Use black gel icing or melted dark chocolate to draw small spiders atop the webs, adding a fun and spooky touch to your brownies.
- Serve: Cut the decorated brownies into 12 equal squares and serve your spooky treats at parties or Halloween gatherings.
Notes
- Ensure brownies are fully cooled before decorating to prevent the chocolate from melting or sliding.
- Use a toothpick carefully when dragging lines to create clean spiderweb effects.
- The spider design can be customized with different colors or additional decorations for a personalized look.
- If you prefer, white chocolate can be substituted with vanilla frosting for the web design.
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
