Equipment
- Mini muffin pan
- Mixing bowls
- Electric mixer
- Spatula or piping bag
- Cooling rack
- Spoons or scoop for batter
Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix (plus eggs, oil, and water per package)
- Nonstick spray or mini muffin liners
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 3 cups powdered sugar, sifted
- 2–3 tbsp milk or heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Food coloring (green, purple, orange, black)
- Candy eyeballs (assorted sizes)
- Optional: Halloween sprinkles, edible glitter, or candy melts
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini muffin pan or use liners. Prepare brownie batter as directed on the box or using your favorite recipe.
- Scoop 1 tablespoon of batter into each muffin cup (about ⅔ full). Bake for 12–15 minutes until set. Let cool 5 minutes in pan, then transfer to wire rack.
- Beat softened butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, then mix in vanilla and 2–3 tbsp milk until fluffy.
- Divide frosting and tint with gel food coloring. Stir well until colors are vibrant and smooth.
- Pipe or spread colored frosting on cooled brownie bites. Top with one or more candy eyes and optional sprinkles or drizzle.
- Chill bites for 10–15 minutes to help frosting set. Serve at room temp or slightly chilled.
Notes
Use gel food coloring for vibrant colors without thinning the frosting. Let brownies cool completely before decorating. Chill decorated bites for 10–15 minutes before serving to help the frosting set and avoid smudges.
