Ingredients

For the Brownies:

1/2 cup unsalted butter

8 oz semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate, chopped

1 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional, for added texture)

For the Spiderweb Decoration:

1/4 cup white chocolate chips or candy melts

1 teaspoon vegetable oil (to help thin the white chocolate)

1/4 teaspoon black food coloring (optional, for a darker effect)

1 tablespoon piping gel or frosting (optional, for a smoother design)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a heatproof bowl, melt the butter and chopped chocolate together over low heat or using a double boiler. Stir frequently until smooth and fully melted. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  3. Whisk the granulated sugar into the melted chocolate mixture until well combined.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  6. If using mini chocolate chips, fold them into the batter.
  7. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter). Let the brownies cool completely in the pan.
  9. Once the brownies have cooled, melt the white chocolate chips with vegetable oil in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring in 15-second intervals until fully melted and smooth.
  10. If you want to add a spooky touch, mix in a tiny bit of black food coloring to darken the white chocolate (optional).
  11. Place the melted white chocolate in a piping bag or a zip-top plastic bag with a small corner cut off.
  12. To create the spiderweb design, pipe a small spiral starting from the center of the brownies, working your way outwards in a spiral pattern.
  13. Once you have the spiral, use a toothpick or a skewer to drag lines outward from the center to the edges, creating a spiderweb effect.
  14. Let the spiderweb design set for a few minutes before cutting the brownies into squares.

Notes

Add a few edible spiders or Halloween-themed decorations on top of the brownies for extra spookiness.

Drizzle some dark chocolate or caramel sauce on top for added flavor.

Use red food coloring in the white chocolate to create a bloody spiderweb effect for a more dramatic look.
