Ingredients
1 box (18 oz) brownie mix
Ingredients as listed on brownie box (oil, eggs, water)
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
1 tub vanilla frosting
2–3 drops green food coloring
24 candy eyeballs
2 tablespoons dark chocolate sprinkles
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your mini muffin tin thoroughly.
Prepare the brownie batter according to the box instructions.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips for an extra gooey texture.
Fill each mini muffin cup about 3/4 full with the prepared brownie batter.
Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
Remove from the oven and let the brownie bites cool completely on a wire rack.
While cooling, mix the vanilla frosting with green food coloring in a small bowl until a vibrant ‘zombie’ green is achieved.
Once the brownies are fully cooled, pipe a swirl of the green frosting on top of each bite.
Finish by placing two candy eyeballs on each swirl and adding a sprinkle of dark chocolate ‘dirt’ to complete the graveyard look.
Notes
Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Substitutions: Use white chocolate chips with a dot of melted dark chocolate if candy eyeballs are unavailable.
Tip: Ensure brownies are completely cool before frosting to prevent the ‘zombie skin’ from melting.
Variations: Add a drop of peppermint extract to the frosting for a minty flavor or use a double-fudge brownie mix.
