Description

These Halloween Brownies are a fun and festive treat, perfect for celebrating spooky season. Moist and fudgy brownie squares are topped with large marshmallows dipped in melted white chocolate to create ghost shapes, then decorated with black candy melts or candy eyes to bring the little ghosts to life. Easy to make with a boxed brownie mix and simple decorating, they’re a perfect Halloween dessert for parties and kids.

Ingredients

Brownie Base

  • 1 box brownie mix
  • 2 eggs (at room temperature)
  • ½ cup avocado oil
  • 3 tablespoons water

Ghost Decoration

  • 16 large marshmallows
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips (or white candy melts)
  • 1 tablespoon black candy melts (or candy eyes or mini chocolate chips)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Brownies: Preheat your oven and prepare the brownie batter according to the package instructions, mixing together the brownie mix, eggs, avocado oil, and water. Pour the batter into a greased 9×9-inch pan and bake as directed. Once baked, allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting into 16 squares.
  2. Add Marshmallows: Place one large marshmallow in the center of each cooled brownie square to serve as the ghost body.
  3. Melt White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips or candy melts by heating in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval until smooth and fully melted.
  4. Coat Marshmallows: Spoon the melted white chocolate over each marshmallow, allowing the coating to drip down the sides to form a ghostly shape covering the marshmallow and a little onto the brownie.
  5. Create Faces: While the white chocolate is still warm, melt the black candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl. Use a toothpick dipped in the black chocolate to draw eyes and mouths on each ghost. Alternatively, press candy eyes or mini chocolate chips onto the melted white chocolate to create faces.
  6. Set Chocolate: Let the decorated brownies sit for 20–30 minutes to allow the chocolate coating and decorations to fully set before serving.

Notes

  • Make sure the brownies are completely cool before adding marshmallows to prevent melting or sliding off.
  • Use room temperature eggs for best brownie texture.
  • If you prefer, substitute butter or another vegetable oil for avocado oil according to your taste.
  • Use candy eyes if you want to avoid piping the black chocolate faces.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • For a gluten-free version, choose a gluten-free brownie mix.
