Ingredients

Scale

Fudgy Brownie Bites

  • 1 box (18.3 oz) Fudge Brownie Mix
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 2/3 cup Vegetable Oil
  • 1/4 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 (mixed sizes)
  • Red Gel Food Coloring (optional for bloodshot veins)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Baking Station: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Thoroughly grease and flour a 24-cup mini muffin pan, or alternatively use a 9×13 inch baking pan but you will need to cut brownies into squares after baking.
  2. Mix the Brownie Batter: In a large bowl, combine the fudge brownie mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Stir with a wooden spoon or spatula just until combined, leaving some small lumps for a fudgy texture. Do not overmix.
  3. Fill and Bake the Brownie Bites: Spoon the batter into each muffin cup about two-thirds full, using a small cookie scoop for uniform size. Bake in 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 removing the pan from the oven, while brownies are still hot and soft, press the back of a small greased measuring spoon or wooden spoon handle into the center of each brownie to form a crater.
  5. Cool Completely: Let brownies cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes to set, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely to room temperature to prevent frosting from melting.
  6. Whip Up the Monster Frosting: Beat softened butter in a large bowl with a hand or stand mixer 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 until incorporated. Add vanilla extract and milk or cream, then beat on medium-high for 3-4 minutes until very smooth and airy. Adjust consistency by adding more milk or powdered sugar as needed.
  8. Color Your Frosting: Mix in green gel food coloring drop by drop on low speed until the desired vibrant green shade is reached.
  9. Decorate Your Monsters: Spread or pipe the green frosting into the indentations on the cooled brownies.
  10. Bring Your Monsters to Life: Press candy eyeballs into the frosting immediately so they stick securely. Optionally, use a toothpick dipped in red gel food coloring to draw bloodshot veins on the candy eyes. Allow frosting to set for about 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use a quality fudge brownie mix for best results and fudgy texture.
  • Do not overmix brownie batter to maintain chewiness.
  • If a mini muffin pan is unavailable, use a 9×13 inch pan and cut brownies after baking.
  • Cool brownies completely before frosting to prevent melting.
  • Gel food coloring is preferred for vibrant color without thinning the frosting.
  • Mix different sizes of candy eyeballs for a more creative monster effect.
  • Frosting can be piped for a cleaner look or spread with a small spatula.
  • Let frosting set before serving to avoid smudging.
