Halloween Brownies

We start with a box mix to keep these brownies super simple and then top it all off with my mama's famous fudgy frosting and plenty of candy. Use up your leftover Halloween candy, I won't tell!

Ingredients

  • 1 box brownie mix prepared as directed on box
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 6 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Halloween candy for decorating

Instructions

  • Bake the brownies as directed and let cool completely.
  • Add the sugar, butter, and milk to a small sauce pan over medium heat and whisk often until fully melted.
  • Let the butter mixture boil for exactly 1 minute.
  • Immediately remove from the heat and whisk in the chocolate chips until melted and smooth.
  • Pour the chocolate frosting over the brownies.
  • Arrange the Halloween candy over the frosting as desired.
  • Let the frosting set for 1 hour before slicing and serving.

Notes

You can skip the homemade frosting in you're in a hurry and use a can of chocolate frosting. Microwave for 30 seconds or until pourable and pour over the brownies. Let sit for 5 minutes before adding the candy.
We like to use KitKats, mini Reese's, Milk Duds, Rolos, and candy corn. Eyeball candies are also fun, if you can find them.
