Description

Witch Brownies are a festive and fun treat perfect for Halloween parties. These fudgy brownies are topped with colorful green and black icing to resemble witch faces and hats, decorated with candy eyeballs and licorice for a playful, spooky effect. Easy to make using a boxed brownie mix, they offer a perfect balance of rich chocolate flavor and creative decoration that kids and adults will love.

Ingredients

Scale

Brownies

  • 1 box Betty Crocker™ Fudge Brownie Mix
  • Water, vegetable oil, and eggs as called for on brownie mix box

Decorations

  • 1 pouch Betty Crocker™ Green Cookie Icing
  • 1 pouch (7 oz) Betty Crocker™ Decorating Cookie Icing black icing
  • 48 candy eyeballs from 1 package (0.88 oz) Betty Crocker™ Dessert Decorations Candy Eyeballs
  • 8 (8-inch) black licorice twists, each piece cut into thirds

Instructions

  1. Prepare Pan: Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 13×9-inch pan with foil, leaving some foil overhang to lift brownies easily after baking. Grease the bottom and sides of the foil with shortening or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Make and Bake Brownies: Prepare the brownie batter according to the instructions on the box using the required water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake as directed. Once baked, cool the brownies completely on a cooling rack for about 1 hour.
  3. Cut Brownies: Using the foil overhang, lift brownies from the pan and peel away the foil. Cut the brownies into 24 triangular pieces by first slicing 3 horizontal rows, then cutting each row into 8 triangles. Each triangle should have about a 2-inch wide base. Set aside the end pieces for snacking.
  4. Decorate Brownies: Squeeze green cookie icing on the bottom third of each brownie triangle to create the witch’s face. Pipe black icing on the remaining unfrosted top portion to form the witch’s hat. Place a cut piece of licorice between the green and black icing layers to form the hat brim. Add two candy eyeballs on the green icing to give the witches their eyes.
  5. Storage: Store the decorated brownies covered in a single layer at room temperature to keep them fresh and maintain decoration integrity.

Notes

  • Allow brownies to cool completely before decorating to prevent icing from melting.
  • Use foil with overhang for easy removal of brownies from pan.
  • Cut brownies carefully to maintain the triangular shape and avoid crumbling.
  • These brownies are best served fresh but can be stored at room temperature for a day or two.
  • Licorice pieces act as a fun and edible decoration—feel free to substitute with other candy if preferred.
