Description
These easy Halloween brownies are topped with peanut butter cup spiders, licorice legs, and creepy candy eyes—perfect for spooky parties or trick-or-treat fun!
Ingredients
1 box brownie mix (plus eggs, oil, and water as required by package)
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
24 mini peanut butter cups
½ cup chocolate frosting
¼ cup white icing or melted white candy melts
Black licorice laces or strings (for spider legs)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a baking pan.
Prepare the brownie mix according to package instructions. Stir in semisweet chocolate chips.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely.
Once cooled, cut brownies into squares. Press a mini peanut butter cup into the center of each square using a dab of chocolate frosting to secure.
Cut black licorice into short lengths and arrange 6–8 “legs” around each peanut butter cup to resemble a spider.
Use white icing or melted candy melts to pipe small eyes on each spider. Let set before serving.
Notes
Use gluten-free brownie mix and candy options if needed.
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Great for Halloween parties, classroom treats, or edible craft time with kids!
Add red icing or edible candy eyes for extra creepiness.
