- Diet: Vegetarian
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (18.4 oz) fudge brownie mix
- Ingredients required by the box (typically eggs, vegetable oil, and water)
- 1 cup vanilla frosting
- Neon green gel food coloring
- 12 gummy worms
- 24 candy eyeballs
- 12 pretzel sticks
- Green pearl sprinkles or nonpareils
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare and Bake the Brownie Bases. Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the brownie mix box. Grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin thoroughly or use paper liners. Prepare the brownie batter according to the package instructions. Distribute the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
- Step 2: Create the Cauldron Well. As soon as the brownies come out of the oven and are still warm, use the back of a small measuring spoon to gently press down in the center of each brownie. This will create a small well or “pit” where the green potion will eventually go. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the tin before removing them.
- Step 3: Tint the Potion Frosting. While the brownies cool, place your vanilla frosting in a small bowl. Add a few drops of neon green gel food coloring and stir until the color is vibrant and uniform. If you want a more “toxic” look, you can leave a few streaks of white or dark green in the mix.
- Step 4: Fill the Cauldrons. Once the brownies are entirely cool to the touch, spoon or pipe a generous amount of green frosting into the center well of each brownie. Allow some of the frosting to slightly overflow over the edges to make it look like a bubbling cauldron.
- Step 5: Add the Spooky Decorations. Stick one pretzel stick into the side of the frosting to act as a wooden stirring spoon. Gently press a gummy worm and two candy eyeballs into the green “potion.” Finish by scattering green pearl sprinkles over the top to represent bubbles rising from the brew.
