Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Mix
- 1 box (17.8 oz) Betty Crocker™ Delights Supreme Triple Chunk Brownie Mix
- Water, vegetable oil, and egg as called for on brownie mix box
Frosting and Decoration
- 2/3 cup from 1 tub (16 oz) Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy Vanilla Frosting
- Betty Crocker™ Green Neon Gel Food Color
- Betty Crocker™ Purple Neon Gel Food Color
- 50 Betty Crocker™ Dessert Decorations Candy Eyeballs (from 0.88-oz package)
Instructions
- Prepare and Bake Brownies: Heat your oven to 350°F (325°F if using a dark or nonstick pan). Line a 9-inch square pan with foil, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Spray the foil with cooking spray. Prepare the brownie mix as directed on the box using water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake. Allow brownies to cool completely for about 1 hour and 30 minutes.
- Remove Brownies from Pan: Use the foil overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan carefully. Peel away the foil, then transfer the brownies onto a serving platter or cutting board.
- Color and Pipe Frosting: Divide 2/3 cup of vanilla frosting into two small bowls. Add green gel food color to one bowl and purple gel food color to the other, mixing until you achieve the desired shades. Spoon each colored frosting into separate small resealable plastic bags. Seal partially and cut off about a 1/4-inch corner from each bag to use as a piping bag. Squeeze the frosting in mounds over the brownie surface, alternating colors and varying the size of the mounds.
- Decorate and Serve: Place candy eyeballs onto the frosting mounds to create a spooky effect. Once decorated, cut the brownies into 4 rows by 4 rows, yielding 16 pieces. Store the brownies loosely covered at room temperature until ready to serve.
Notes
- For best results, ensure brownies are completely cooled before frosting to prevent melting.
- Adjust the amount of gel food coloring to achieve vivid neon colors.
- Use foil with overhang to make removing brownies from pan easier without breaking.
- Store brownies loosely covered at room temperature to maintain freshness and frosting texture.
- Cut frosting bag corners small to control the size of frosting mounds for better decoration precision.
