Directions

  • 1 Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Grease bottom only of 8-inch or 9-inch square pan with cooking spray or shortening. Make brownies as directed on box. Cool completely, about 1 1/2 hours. Cut into 4 rows by 4 rows, making 16 brownies.
  • 2 Divide frosting among 3 small microwavable bowls. Heat frosting as needed: microwave 1 bowl uncovered on High about 10 seconds until frosting can be stirred smooth. If frosting becomes too firm while decorating, microwave on High an additional 5 seconds; stir.
  • 3 Decorate as directed below, using 5 or 6 brownies for each bowl of frosting.
    Franken-Brownies Add 3 drops green food color to frosting in 1 bowl; mix well. Top each of 6 brownies with 1 large marshmallow. Spoon 1 tablespoon green frosting over each marshmallow to coat. Decorate with green baking bits for eyes and ears. Use black gel for mouths and centers of eyes. Cut fruit snack to use for hair.
    Boo-Brownies Top each of 5 brownies with 1 large marshmallow. Spoon 1 tablespoon white frosting over each marshmallow to coat. Use black gel for eyes and mouths.
    Spider Brownies Add 2 drops pink food color and 1 drop blue food color to frosting in 1 bowl; mix well. Top each of 5 brownies with 1 large marshmallow. Tuck gummy worms candies under each marshmallow for legs. Spoon 1 tablespoon purple frosting over each marshmallow to coat. Use orange baking bits for eyes. Use black gel for mouths, centers of eyes and eyebrows.

Had so much fun with the kids making these for a work party. They did not turn out like the picture, but pretty close. Make sure the frosting is just warm enough to pour over the marshmallows. Fun project and taste great!!!

Mine didn't turn out quite so professional looking but they were cute nonetheless. I made a jack-o-lantern instead of the spider, using orange frosting for the base, green frosting for the stem on top, and the black gel to make triangular eyes and a big grin. Pretty cute and delicious--so rich, you better have some milk on hand!

We just made about 3 dozen of these! We used cupcake holders for the brownies, that way its easier to give out at the school fair. Also, we used mini and reg chocolate chips for the eyes and mouth on the ghost. They are adorable!!
