Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- Candy or decorations for Halloween (e.g., candy eyes, sprinkles, chocolate pieces)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan for non-stick baking.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Mix the dry ingredients: sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
- Combine the dry mixture into the wet mixture, mixing just until combined to avoid over-mixing.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool the brownies in the pan for a few minutes, then cut into squares and decorate with Halloween candies.
Notes
Check doneness at 20 minutes, allow to cool completely for clean cuts.
