Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Ingredients

  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter
  • 2 cups (400g) granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (90g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Witch Hat and Frosting Ingredients

  • 12 chocolate ice cream cones
  • 2 cups (300g) powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)
  • Green food coloring (as needed)
  • Halloween-themed sprinkles (for decoration)

Optional Decoration

  • Extra melted chocolate (for dipping cones in)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the brownie batter: Melt the unsalted butter completely and mix it with the granulated sugar until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  2. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined to avoid overmixing.
  3. Bake the brownies: Pour the batter into a greased or lined 9×13 inch baking pan, spreading evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  4. Cool the brownies: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack to ensure the frosting adheres well.
  5. Prepare the witch hats: Optionally dip the tops of the chocolate ice cream cones into melted chocolate, then immediately sprinkle with Halloween-themed sprinkles. Let them set until firm.
  6. Make the frosting: In a mixing bowl, combine powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and a few drops of green food coloring. Whisk until smooth and thick enough to spread easily.
  7. Frost the brownies: Spread the green frosting evenly over the cooled brownies using a spatula.
  8. Assemble the witch hats: Place an upside-down chocolate ice cream cone on top of each frosted brownie square. Decorate further with Halloween-themed sprinkles as desired.

Notes

  • Ensure the brownies are completely cool before frosting and topping to prevent melting.
  • You can substitute green food coloring with natural alternatives like spinach powder if preferred.
  • Use high-quality cocoa powder for a richer chocolate flavor.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
  • For younger children, consider omitting the melted chocolate dip on cones to reduce mess.
