This recipe transforms a simple brownie into a Halloween-themed dessert. The brownie is baked in an 8-inch round pan, then cooled and decorated with frosting and sanding sugars in orange, yellow, and white to mimic candy corn. A stencil helps create the iconic shape.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Take an 8-inch round cake pan and shape aluminum foil around its exterior, making sure the shiny surface faces outward.
  2. Take off the foil, invert it, and press it into the pan to line the interior. Lightly spray with cooking spray and set aside.
  3. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter and unsweetened chocolate together. Allow the mixture to cool entirely before moving on.
  4. Combine the eggs and salt in a mixing bowl and beat on medium-high speed until they become pale and frothy, roughly 5 minutes.
  5. Stir in the vanilla, then gradually add the sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, continuing to beat until the blend turns thick.
  6. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the cooled melted chocolate and butter mixture, stirring only until incorporated.
  7. Add the flour and mix just until no streaks remain.
  8. Transfer the batter into the lined pan and level the surface with the spatula.
  9. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center emerges with a few moist crumbs.
  10. Lift the brownie out of the pan using the foil edges, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool fully.
