Create spooky and delicious Graveyard Brownies for a festive Halloween celebration. This recipe guides you through making rich, fudgy brownies and decorating them with candy and edible tombstones to resemble a graveyard scene.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (optional)
  • Cookie crumbs (for dirt)
  • Gummy worms or similar candy (for decoration)
  • Fondant or chocolate tombstones (for decor)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
  2. Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat once melted.
  3. Stir in the granulated sugar until combined. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually mix into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips, if using.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  7. Cool brownies in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Cut cooled brownies into squares or rectangles.
  9. Decorate by sprinkling cookie crumbs for dirt. Place candy tombstones and gummy worms on top to create a graveyard effect.

Notes

  • Use fresh ingredients for best flavor.
  • Customize toppings with various Halloween candies.
  • Add espresso powder to the batter for a deeper chocolate taste.
  • Ensure brownies are completely cool before decorating.
  • Serve with vanilla ice cream.
  • For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free baking blend.
  • For a vegan version, use flaxseed meal for eggs and coconut oil for butter.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
  • Freeze by wrapping tightly in plastic wrap and then foil for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight.
