What You Need

• 2 sticks 1 cup unsalted butter – melted
• 1 lb 2 cups granulated sugar
• 4 4 large eggs
• 2 tsp 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 120 g 1 cup all-purpose flour – sifted
• 100 g 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 tsp 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 tsp 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 6 oz 1 cup white chocolate chips – for eyeballs
• 4 oz 1/2 cup red gel icing – for decoration

Time to Cook

Prep: 20 minutes | Cook: 30 minutes | Total: 50 minutes | Difficulty: Easy | Make-Ahead: Yes, you can make these a day in advance.

Steps to Make It

1. Preheat your oven to 350 °F. Greasing a 9×13 inch baking pan helps the brownies release easily once baked. You should smell the buttery goodness as the oven warms up.
2. In a large bowl, mix the melted butter and sugar together until well combined. The mixture should look smooth and glossy, which means you are on the right track.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. The batter should become thick and creamy, which is a good sign that you are creating a rich brownie base.
4. Stir in the vanilla extract to add a lovely aroma. It should smell sweet and inviting, making you excited for the next steps.
5. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. This dry mix should be well combined and ready to bring that chocolate flavor to life.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. You want to avoid overmixing; the batter should be thick and fudgy.
7. Fold in the white chocolate chips to add a delightful surprise in every bite. The batter should look dotted with creamy chips, ready for the oven.
8. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
9. Once baked, let the brownies cool completely in the pan. This will help them set up nicely, making them easier to cut into squares.
10. Decorate with red gel icing to create the eyeball effect. Place a chocolate chip in the center of each white chocolate chip to complete the look.

Make It Perfect

• Use parchment paper to line the baking pan for easy cleanup.
• Let the brownies cool completely before cutting to avoid crumbling.
• For a fun twist, try adding nuts or other mix-ins to the batter.

Mix It Up

• Swap white chocolate chips for milk chocolate chips for a different flavor.
• Add a sprinkle of sea salt on top for a sweet and salty combo.

Perfect Partners

• Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delicious dessert.
• Pair with spooky-themed drinks like a Halloween punch.
