Halloween Brownies
These spooky Halloween brownies are as delicious as they are fun to make! Rich, fudgy, and packed with deep chocolate flavour, they’re the perfect treat for parties, trick-or-treaters, or a cosy night in watching scary movies. Kids will love helping decorate them, and adults won’t be able to resist sneaking a second slice! Get creative with your toppings, melted white chocolate spiderwebs, icing drizzles, or even crushed orange sweets all work great.

Halloween Brownies
Prep Time15 Minutes
Servings12
Cook Time20 Minutes
Ingredients
170g butter
170g dark chocolate
2 tbsp cocoa powder
3 eggs
220g light brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla essence
120g self-raising flour
150g icing sugar
100g melted white chocolate
Halloween eye decorations
Directions
Ingredients
- 170g butter, cubed
- 170g dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 3 eggs
- 220g light brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 120g self-raising flour
To decorate:/strong>
- 150g icing sugar
- 2–3 tbsp water or
- 100g melted white chocolate
- Halloween eye decorations
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan) / Gas 6. Line a 9x13-inch baking tray with parchment paper.
- Melt the chocolate – In a heatproof bowl, melt the butter, dark chocolate, and cocoa powder together over a saucepan of gently simmering water (or in short bursts in the microwave). Stir until smooth, then set aside to cool slightly.
- Whisk the eggs and sugar – In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, light brown sugar, and vanilla essence until pale and fluffy.
- Combine the mixtures – Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and stir until fully combined.
- Add the flour – Sift in the self-raising flour and fold gently until just mixed.
- Bake – Pour the batter into the prepared tray and smooth the top. Bake for 19–20 minutes, until the edges are set but the centre is still slightly gooey.
- Cool completely – Allow to cool in the tin, then chill in the fridge before cutting into squares. (This helps them hold their shape!)
- Decorate – Mix the icing sugar with enough water to make a thick, toothpaste-like consistency, or melt the white chocolate. Drizzle over the brownies using a piping bag or spoon, then top with Halloween eye decorations.
- Set and serve – Chill briefly in the fridge to set the icing before serving.
