I am TOTALLY in my element this month — I LOVE fall, the holidays, and being able to be a “big kid” through it all, LOL! That might be the real reason I love being a “Mommy” so much – because it lets me have an excuse to regress…ha! It is totally a good thing I am an adult though, Trick-Or-Treating is more fun when you take a wine glass (yeah Halloween!)
🙂

Here is a fun and easy one — you can actually use a boxed mix (gasp!) instead for a quicker/simpler option than making the brownies from scratch. Box mixes are often on sale for a buck or so.

Halloween Brownie Bites

Yes, you can speed things up with a boxed mix, I just like to make them from scratch! I really think it adds a layer of flavor. That being said, make sure your eggs are at room temperature for the best results.

Brownie Bites Recipe Ingredients:

• 2 C sugar
• 1 C unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 C cocoa powder
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 4 eggs
• 1 1/2 C flour
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt

How to make our Brownie Bites:

-Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Using baking spray treat the baking dish.
-Mix in the ingredients as they are added.
-Pour melted butter into a bowl and add the sugar, cocoa, vanilla, eggs, flour, baking powder, and salt.
-Bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
-Allow it to cool before cutting into bars.

Royal Icing:

This is my go-to for working on decorating – it simply holds up better and I think it tastes better than store-bought frosting.

Icing Ingredients:

• 2 egg whites
• 1 C powdered sugar
• 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
• Green gel food coloring

Icing Directions:

• Combine all ingredients but the food coloring, in a mixing bowl. Mix it on medium speed for 4 minutes.
• Check your icing, and if it is not stiff enough add another 1/4 C powdered sugar.
• Spoon the icing into a bowl.
• Add several drops of green gel food coloring and stir well to mix the color.

Place the piping bag into a large glass and fold the sides of the bag over the rim of the glass.

Spoon the frosting into a piping bag with tip, open-end down. Bring the pastry bag edges up and twist them together to start decorating.

Add a 1 mm star tip to your bag.

If you don’t have a piping bag, try a plastic bag with the tip snipped off. Frost the cooled and filled cupcakes.

Decorating the brownie bites:

You will need:

• Tombstone, candy (Michaels). If you can’t find that, you can try this Wilton 12-Graveyard Cupcake Decorating Kit
• Wilton Foodwriter
• Pumpkin candy

Directions:

Using the green icing, cover a corner of the brownie to look like grass.
With your Wilton Foodwriter, in black, write RIP.
Place a candy tombstone in the center of the back of the brownie.
Add a candy pumpkin on the plot of icing grass, then rip into your Halloween Brownie Bites like a monkey on a cupcake!
