How to Jazz Up Brownies for Halloween

There are so many different ways to jazz up brownies for Halloween. You can incorporate Halloween-themed colors such as orange, black, green, and purple through frosting, icing, and sprinkles.

Or try cutting the brownies into shapes using cookie cutters, then add details with a piped melted chocolate or an edible ink pen. You can also draw spider webs onto a large slab of brownie or turn square brownies into Jack-o’-lanterns.

You can also add themed toppings like candy corns, gummy worms, and edible glitter to create spooky faces and scenes.

Graveyard Halloween Brownie Cake

Instead of making graveyard Halloween brownies, try a brownie cake. The creepy graveyard scene is so simple to put together, yet so effective! Start by frosting a square brownie cake (or a batch of uncut brownies) with a chocolate ganache.

Next make your Oreo crumbs by removing the creamy layer and blitzing in a food processor. Pile up into dirt mounds in front of store-bought or homemade white chocolate tombstones. Finish by fencing the graveyard in with chocolate fingers.

Such a simple brownie decorating idea that’s sure to impress kids and adults alike!

Halloween Sprinkled Brownies

Add a festive Halloween-themed finish to your favorite brownie recipe. To chocolate frosting-topped brownies, add assorted candy – leftover Halloween candy from all that trick-or-treating is perfect.

Or keep it to a theme with chocolate-covered candies in purples, orange and other neons, candy eyeballs and candy corns, as pictured above.

A simple and fun decorating activity the kids will love.

Pumpkin Brownie Recipe

In keeping with the season, this Halloween brownie recipe uses pumpkin puree which forms the basis of the orange swirl. The pumpkin is also used in the main chocolate brownie mix, helping to keep this egg-free and refined sugar-free brownie sweet, moist and a little chewy.

Eyeball-Infested Spiderweb Dark Choc Brownies

Melted marshmallows pulled apart into long strings create frighteningly realistic cobwebs… Drape over your baked brownies and top with candy eyeballs or other creepy decorations.

Ewww! But I bet they’re delish.

Use this decorating idea on any cooked brownie, but the rich black cocoa brownie recipe looks one to try. The intense carbon black is achieved by using black cocoa, alongside other basic ingredients, resulting in a delicious fudgy dark chocolate brownie.

Halloween Peanut Butter Brownies

Here’s another box mix-based spooky treat where the fun and freakiness is all in the toppings and decorations. This one is for peanut butter lovers the world over!

While your brownie is cooling on a wire rack, make up a brightly colored ganache or two, using melting wafers and heavy cream. I love the combination of vibrant orange and black, but purple or greens would also work well and fit with the Halloween theme.

Drizzle over the cooled brownie before topping with Reese’s pieces, peanut butter cups and peanut butter chips. Candy eyeballs and sanding sugar complete the look.
