Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Batter

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 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

Decoration

  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (melted)
  • Black gel food coloring or melted dark chocolate (for web detail, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and combined. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well to fully incorporate.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually stir in the unsweetened cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the brownies tender.
  4. Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan and spread it out smoothly. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  5. Cool Completely: Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan to ensure they are set before decorating.
  6. Melt White Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl by heating in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is smooth and creamy.
  7. Create Spiderweb Design: Transfer the melted white chocolate to a piping bag or a zip-top bag with a small tip cut off. Pipe a spiral starting from the center of the cooled brownie. Using a toothpick, gently drag lines outward from the center to the edges to form a spiderweb pattern. For added contrast, swirl in black gel food coloring or drizzle some melted dark chocolate as desired.
  8. Set and Serve: Chill the decorated brownies in the refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes to allow the chocolate design to set. Once firm, slice into 9 squares and serve your festive spiderweb brownies.

Notes

  • Ensure brownies are fully cooled before decorating to prevent the white chocolate from melting or smudging.
  • For a darker spiderweb effect, use melted dark chocolate instead of black gel food coloring.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
  • These brownies make a fun and spooky Halloween treat that’s perfect for parties or gatherings.
