Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Base
- 1 box brownie mix (plus eggs, oil, and water as directed) or your favorite homemade brownie recipe
Spider Web Decoration
- ½ cup white chocolate chips or white candy melts
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)
- Black or dark chocolate gel for decorating (optional)
- Candy spiders or Halloween sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven according to the brownie mix or homemade recipe instructions. Line an 8×8 or 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Make the Brownie Batter: Prepare the brownie batter as directed on the box or in your homemade recipe. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake the Brownies: Bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow brownies to cool completely in the pan before decorating.
- Melt the White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips with coconut oil (if using) in 20-second intervals, stirring well between each until smooth and creamy.
- Create the Spider Web: Transfer the melted white chocolate to a piping bag or a zip-top bag with a tiny corner snipped off. Pipe three or four concentric circles onto the cooled brownies, starting from the center. Using a toothpick, drag lines from the center outward through the circles to form a spider web pattern.
- Set the Design: Chill the brownies for 10 minutes to allow the white chocolate spider web to set firmly.
- Add Finishing Touches: Decorate with candy spiders or Halloween-themed sprinkles if desired. Slice and serve the spooky brownies.
Notes
- You can also decorate each brownie square individually after slicing for a personalized touch.
- Store brownies at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
- Use dark chocolate gel to add additional spider or web details for extra flair.
- For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free brownie mix or homemade recipe.
