Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F (325° for dark or nonstick pan). Line 9-inch square pan with foil, allowing some to hang over edges of pan. Spray bottom and sides of foil with cooking spray. Make and bake brownies as directed on box. Cool completely, about 1 hour 30 minutes. Freeze in pan 30 minutes.
  • 2
    Using foil to lift, remove brownie from pan, and peel foil away. Place brownie on work surface.
  • 3
    Meanwhile, cut out paper templates. Place templates over brownie as shown in photo. Cut brownie around templates. (Set aside brownie scraps for snacking.)
  • 4
    Arrange brownie pieces on serving platter or cutting board as shown in photo.
  • 5
    In small bowl, stir frosting and food color to desired color. Spread frosting on top of brownie. Use candies and snacks to decorate house as desired, using photo as a guide. Cut into pieces to serve. Store loosely covered at room temperature.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    To easily line the bottom of the pan, tip upside down and form foil around bottom and sides. Flip pan over, and place foil insert inside pan for a perfect fit.
  • tip 2
    There is no one right way to decorate these scary brownies. Half the fun is coming up with your own look, using whatever combination of candies, sprinkles and colored sugars you have.
  • tip 3
    For another spooky brownie idea, replace the colored frosting with 3/4 cup Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy Chocolate Frosting, and decorate as desired.
  • tip 4
    Short on time? Bake the brownie the day before. Once cooled completely, store covered at room temperature. When ready to assemble and decorate, freeze in pan 30 minutes, lift brownie out of pan and continue with spooky brownie recipe.
