Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Base
- 1 box brownie mix (plus ingredients listed on the box)
Toppings
- 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, combining the required ingredients and mixing thoroughly. Pour the batter into a greased baking pan evenly.
- Bake the Brownies: Bake according to the package directions, usually around 25-30 minutes at 350°F (175°C), or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs. Remove from oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan.
- Melt White Chocolate: Gently melt the white chocolate chips using a microwave in 15-second bursts, stirring between each until smooth, or use a double boiler method. Transfer the melted white chocolate into a piping bag or a small plastic bag with a tiny corner cut off for precision.
- Create Spiderweb Design: Pipe a spiral starting from the center of the cooled brownies outward. Using a toothpick, drag lines from the center of the spiral to the edges to form a spiderweb effect by pulling the chocolate outwards evenly around the pan.
- Draw Spider Details: Use black gel icing or melted dark chocolate to draw small spider shapes on the spiderweb to add a spooky touch. Let all decorations set before cutting.
- Serve: Cut the decorated brownies into squares and serve these festive spooky treats to impress your guests.
Notes
- Ensure the brownies are completely cooled before decorating to prevent the chocolate from melting.
- If you don’t have a piping bag, a zip-top bag with a small corner snipped off works well for decorating.
- For precise spider details, use a toothpick or fine-tipped icing pen.
- Store brownies in an airtight container to keep fresh for up to 3 days.
- White chocolate can seize quickly if overheated; melt carefully with gentle heat.
