Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Monster Mash Brownies
Prepare your frosting colors by dividing the American buttercream frosting into seven portions and coloring as indicated.
Preheat your oven to 175°C (340°F) and prepare the baking tin with non-stick spray and parchment paper.
Melt the unsalted butter and dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl until smooth.
Mix the melted butter and chocolate with granulated sugar, then add eggs one at a time while whisking.
Gently fold in unsweetened cocoa powder and all-purpose flour, then add white and dark chocolate chips.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking tin and bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
Cool the brownies at room temperature for one hour, then refrigerate for additional hour.
Cut brownies into 12 squares using a cookie cutter.
Decorate the brownies as Frankenstein brownies with green frosting, and use decorative piping for details.
Create mummy brownies with light yellow frosting and add features using black and yellow frosting.
Decorate spider monster brownies with purple frosting, adding a mouth and legs using liquorice.
