Easy Spiderweb Brownies for Halloween

These brownies feature a fudgy chocolate base topped with a decorative spiderweb made from melted white chocolate. The recipe takes about 45 minutes from start to finish and yields 12 delicious brownies.

Ingredients

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup white chocolate chips for spiderweb decoration
Black food coloring (optional, for spider decoration)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking pan.
Melt the Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla until well combined.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Bake the Brownies: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Cool and Prepare Spiderweb: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan. Meanwhile, melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. If using, mix in black food coloring to create a darker spiderweb.
Create the Spiderweb: Transfer the melted white chocolate to a piping bag or a zip-top bag with a corner snipped off. Drizzle the chocolate in a circular pattern over the cooled brownies, then use a toothpick to create the spiderweb effect.
Serve: Cut the brownies into squares and serve. Enjoy your spooky Spiderweb Brownies!
