You can add the decorations to a pan of brownies or wait until you’ve cut it into squares and removed them from the pan to decorate each one.

Tips and tricks for making Halloween Brownies:
- use a box brownie mix and make the cake-like version of the recipe – usually, that just means you will add one more egg to the batter
- you’ll get more brownies if you use a 13×9-inch pan
- grease the pan
- wait until the brownie has completely cooled before frosting
- melt an entire 11-12 oz. bag to get several haunted trees
- use wax paper to make trees on and use a candy squeeze bottle
- add candy eyes to trees for a cute haunted tree, and add black frosting eyebrows to make them appear angry
- use red nonpareils for bat eyes
- decorate candy pumpkins with cookie frosting to make Jack-O-Lanterns
- add decorated candies to your batch of brownies or individual brownie squares

How many trees will you need?:
- It depends. If you just want to decorate the pan, then 4 to 5 will do. If you plan on making haunted squares, then you’ll probably need at least 12
How much chocolate should I melt?
- If you are only making 5 trees, then you can probably melt 4-6 oz.
- For 1 dozen or more trees, melt the entire 12 oz. bag

Haunted Forest Halloween Brownies {So Cute!}
Equipment
- wax paper
- candy squeeze bottle
Ingredients
- 1 9×13 in. prepared pan of brownies cooled – I used milk chocolate brownies
- 1 16 oz. chocolate cake frosting
- 1 12 oz. melting chocolate brown
- candy eyes
- red nonpareils – sometimes called candy pearls
- 15 candy pumpkins
- 1 7 oz. black cookie frosting
Instructions
- Prepare brownies in a 13×9 inch pan and cool completely
- while those are cooling, prepare decorations
- place wax paper on your work surface
- melt chocolate melts in a glass microwavable proof bowl
- pour melted chocolate into a squeeze bottle
- using the squeeze bottle, start making trees onto the wax paper
Trees:
- using the melted chocolate in the squeeze bottle, make a line that’s about 4 inches tall going up and down on wax paper
- make the line wider by continuing to go up and down on either side with more chocolate – you are making the main trunk
- at the top make a large V for 2 branches, add more lines of chocolate to your brances for added thickness
- make small Vs at the end of the branches
- add more branches to your tree, sprouting off of the main trunk
Adding Decorations to Trees:
- while chocolate trees are still warm and melted, add candy eyes – the white candy eyes to the center of the tree and the red candy eyes in the branches
- when the trees have completely hardened, add black eyebrows to make the tree appear angry
Pumpkins:
- use cookie frosting to make Jack-O-Lanterns – making round eyes and a long oval mouth
Decorating brownies:
- frost the brownies
- either place decorations directly onto the big pan, by pushing them down into the frosted brownies
- Or, cut brownies into squares and decorate them individually
