Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base

  • 1 box brownie mix (plus ingredients listed on the box, typically eggs, oil, and water)

Spiderweb Decoration

  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
  • Black gel icing or melted dark chocolate for spider details

Instructions

  1. Prepare the brownie mix: Follow the instructions on the brownie mix box, combining the specified ingredients and mixing thoroughly. Pour the batter into a greased baking pan, spreading evenly to ensure uniform baking.
  2. Bake and cool: Bake the brownies as directed on the box, usually about 25-30 minutes at 350°F (175°C). Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan to ensure the decoration sets properly.
  3. Create the spiderweb: Melt the white chocolate chips gently in a microwave or double boiler until smooth. Transfer the melted white chocolate to a piping bag or plastic bag with a small corner snipped off. Pipe a spiral design starting from the center and moving outward on top of the cooled brownies. Use a toothpick to drag lines outward from the center to the edges of the pan, forming a spiderweb pattern.
  4. Draw the spider details: Using black gel icing or melted dark chocolate, draw small spider shapes on the spiderweb—typically a round body with legs—to create spooky yet cute spider accents.
  5. Serve: Once decorated, cut the brownies into squares, making sure each piece has spiderweb and spider decorations. Serve these spooky spiderweb brownies to delight guests and family.

Notes

  • Ensure the brownies are completely cool before decorating to prevent the white chocolate from melting and smudging.
  • Use a toothpick gently when creating the spiderweb lines to maintain a clean design.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute the brownie mix and white chocolate chips with vegan alternatives.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • For an extra spooky effect, consider adding candy eyeballs to the spider bodies.
