These spooky brownies are topped with a homemade marshmallow spider web that's surprisingly easy to make. Start with a boxed brownie mix dyed black, then bake and top with melted marshmallows stretched into webs. Add candy eyes for a fun Halloween treat that's perfect for parties.

Ingredients

1 pack 16 oz brownie mix

2 large eggs

water (as per requirement (can be replaced with milk))

1-2 drop black gel food color

1 cup marshmallows (8-10 regular marshmallows or 14-15 mini marshmallows)

3-4 tablespoons water

Directions

Set your oven to 350°F. Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper and put it aside.

In a medium bowl, stir together the brownie mix, eggs, and water (or milk, if you prefer) until just combined.

Mix in 1 to 2 drops of black gel food coloring until the batter is uniformly dark.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and gently tap the pan on the counter a couple of times to level it.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Remove and let cool slightly.

Put the marshmallows (8-10 regular or 14-15 mini) and 3-4 tablespoons of water in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 10-second bursts, stirring after each burst, until the marshmallows are melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat or they'll turn into caramel.

Take a small amount of the melted marshmallow with your fingers and stretch it out into thin strands to create a web-like shape.

Lay the marshmallow web on top of the brownies and add candy eyes for an extra creepy touch.

Slice the brownies into squares and serve.
