Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until combined.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan.
- While the brownies cool, prepare the frosting: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. If the frosting is too thick, add a tiny bit more milk; if too thin, add more powdered sugar.
- Once the brownies are completely cool, spread the white frosting evenly over the top.
- Using the black decorating gel, draw concentric circles on top of the white frosting, starting from the center and working outwards.
- Drag a toothpick from the center outwards through the black circles to create a spiderweb effect. Repeat this in several places.
- Cut the brownies into squares and serve.
Notes
These are best served at room temperature. For an extra spooky touch, you can add candy spiders on top!
