Description
Fudgiest Halloween Ghost Brownies – Rich, ultra-fudgy brownies topped with sweet marshmallow ghosts for a spooky, easy Halloween treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- For the Brownies:
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup chocolate chips (optional for extra fudginess)
- For the Ghost Topping:
- 12 large marshmallows
- 4 oz white chocolate or candy melts, melted
- Black decorating gel or melted dark chocolate for eyes
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch pan with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugar until combined. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing well.
- Sift in cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Stir until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips if using.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 22–25 minutes, until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs. Cool completely.
- Once cooled, place marshmallows evenly on top of the brownies.
- Melt white chocolate and drizzle over marshmallows to create ghost shapes. Let it drip down slightly.
- Use black gel or melted dark chocolate to dot on ghost eyes and mouths.
- Slice and serve spooky-style!
Notes
- You can omit the chocolate chips for a smoother fudgier texture, or use mini chips for more distribution.
- Chill the topped brownies briefly to help the ghosts set faster if desired.
- For a vegan option, substitute plant-based butter, vegan marshmallows, and vegan white chocolate; check that the marshmallows and chocolate are vegan.
- Store covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
