Ingredients
Scale
- Brownie Mix (or homemade brownie ingredients)
- 2 Eggs (or 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce per egg for vegan)
- 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil (or melted coconut oil)
- 1 cup White Icing (store-bought or homemade)
- Black Gel Food Coloring (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare a 9×9-inch baking pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
- Mix the brownie mix (or dry ingredients if homemade), eggs, and oil in a large bowl until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool the brownies in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the icing by beating together softened butter and powdered sugar, adding vanilla extract and milk until spreadable.
- Create the spider web design by spreading icing on cooled brownies and piping spirals, then dragging a toothpick through to form the web.
- Chill in the fridge for 15-20 minutes to set the icing (optional).
Notes
These brownies are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for a couple of days.
