Description
Simple brownies decorated with a ghost design for Halloween.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (18.3 ounces) brownie mix
- Ingredients listed on brownie mix box (usually eggs, oil, water)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Black food coloring (gel preferred)
- Small candy eyes
Instructions
- Prepare the brownies according to the package directions.
- Bake the brownies in a 9×13 inch pan. Let them cool completely.
- Cut the cooled brownies into squares.
- Make the ghost icing: Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Add one small drop of black food coloring to the icing and mix until you have a very light gray color. This will look white once dry.
- Place the icing in a small piping bag or a zip-top bag with a corner snipped off.
- Pipe a small oval shape onto the center of each brownie square for the ghost body.
- Gently press two candy eyes onto the piped icing before it sets.
- Let the icing set before serving.
Notes
- For a richer brownie flavor, substitute water with brewed coffee.
- If you do not have candy eyes, you can use small dots of black icing for the eyes.
