Ingredients

Scale

Fudgy Brownie Bites:

  • 1 box (18.3 oz) Fudge Brownie Mix
  • 2 large Eggs
  • ⅔ cup Vegetable Oil
  • ¼ cup Water

Vibrant Monster Frosting:

  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
  • 3 cups Powdered Sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 2 tablespoons Milk or Heavy Cream
  • Green Gel Food Coloring

Spooky Decorations:

  • 1 package Candy Eyeballs (various sizes)
  • Red Gel Food Coloring (optional, for bloodshot veins)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Baking Station: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and thoroughly grease and flour a 24-cup mini muffin pan to prevent sticking. If unavailable, use a 9×13 inch pan and cut brownies into squares after baking.
  2. Mix the Brownie Batter: In a large bowl, combine the brownie mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined, leaving some small lumps to ensure fudginess.
  3. Fill and Bake the Brownie Bites: Spoon batter into each mini muffin cup about two-thirds full using a small cookie scoop for uniform size. Bake on the center rack for 12-15 minutes until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  4. Create the Indentations: Immediately after baking, while brownies are hot and soft, press the back of a lightly greased small spoon or wooden spoon handle into the center of each brownie to form a small crater for the frosting.
  5. Cool Completely: Let the brownies cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool fully. Ensure brownies are at room temperature before frosting to prevent melting.
  6. Whip Up the Monster Frosting: Using a mixer, beat softened butter on medium speed for about 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
  7. Add Sugar and Flavor: Gradually add sifted powdered sugar one cup at a time on low speed. Once fully added, mix in vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons milk or cream, then beat on medium-high for 3-4 minutes until smooth and airy. Adjust thickness by adding milk or sugar as needed.
  8. Color Your Frosting: Add green gel food coloring drop by drop, mixing on low until the desired monster green shade is achieved.
  9. Decorate Your Monsters: Spread or pipe frosting generously into each brownie indentation.
  10. Bring Your Monsters to Life: Press candy eyeballs into the frosting, varying sizes and numbers per brownie for fun. Optionally, use a toothpick dipped in red gel food coloring to draw bloodshot veins on the eyeballs. Let frosting set for 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Using a quality fudge brownie mix guarantees chewy, moist brownies with less effort.
  • Do not overmix brownie batter to maintain fudgy texture.
  • Ensure brownies are completely cooled before frosting to avoid melting.
  • Gel food coloring provides vibrant color without thinning frosting.
  • Decorate creatively with assorted candy eyeball sizes for more visual interest.
  • Optional red gel food coloring can add spooky bloodshot effects for extra Halloween flair.
