Eyeball Brownies
These Eyeball Brownies are rich, chocolatey treats decorated with candy eyeballs and red gel icing for a spooky Halloween delight.
Ingredients
Brownie Base
- 1 box brownie mix Quick and convenient, saving you time so you can focus on the fun decorations!
- 1/4 cup water Just the right amount to keep those brownies moist and fudgy.
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil This enriches the texture and makes them delightfully gooey.
- 2 large eggs Essential for binding everything together and adding that fluffy texture.
Decorations
- 1 cup green candy melts The star of the show! Melted and dipped for that creepy eye effect.
- 1 tub red gel icing To create those spooky bloodshot veins—just a dash makes a big difference!
- 1 cup candy eyeballs These tiny treats bring tons of charm and whimsy to your brownies.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your favorite baking pan generously.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the brownie mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs until smooth.
Baking
- Pour your brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake according to the package instructions and let the brownies cool completely afterward.
Decoration
- Melt the green candy melts according to the package instructions.
- Dip the tops of the brownie squares into the melted green candy, creating your ‘eyeballs’.
- Use red gel icing to add 'bloodshot' veins around each candy eyeball.
- Place a candy eyeball in the center of each green ‘eyeball’ brownie and serve.
Notes
You can prepare the brownies a day in advance—just keep them tightly wrapped in plastic wrap! Leftovers can be crumbled into a parfait with whipped cream and more candy eyeballs. Great for freezing and reheating.
