How to Make Hocus Pocus Spellbook Brownies
You will need:
- 1 Box Mix Brownies, Prepared or use your favorite brownie recipe
- large candy eyes
- Black Food dye
- 1/2 Cup Butter or Margarine, softened
- 1/2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 1 Cup Powdered Sugar
- 1 Tbsp Milk or Heavy Cream
- piping bag

Directions
Prepare brownies as instructed.
Line your baking pan with parchment paper or foil, leaving an overhang on the sides. This will make it easier to lift the brownies out after baking.
Pour brownie batter into a prepared pan and bake.
Spread the brownie batter evenly in the pan using an offset spatula. This ensures even baking and uniform layers.
Your brownies are finished when an inserted toothpick comes out clean from the center of the brownies, after about 20-25 minutes.
Allow the brownies to cool completely to room temperature on a cooling rack before attempting to decorate.
When your brownies are slightly cooled, put them in the freezer for about five minutes to firm up before cutting into pieces. This will make it much easier and allow you to add toppings or cut decorative designs on top!
Cream butter and vanilla extract until smooth in a large bowl, gradually add in powdered sugar.
Once combined add black food coloring until frosting is as dark as you would like.
Put frosting in pastry bag or large ziplock bag and cut a small portion of the corner.
For clean and precise cuts, refrigerate the brownies for a couple of hours before decorating and cutting them into spellbook shapes.
Cut brownies into 16 equal pieces.
Pipe small circle of icing in middle of right side, and place jumbo candy eye on icing to attach.
Then add remaining decorations to resemble Winifred’s spellbook, like zig zag lines of frosting.
Decorate remaining spell book brownies and enjoy!
Substitute homemade icing for black icing or black cookie frosting.
