Notes

  • To make toddler-friendly, you can skip the candy eyes and instead drizzle with plain icing. Always supervise young kids when serving decorated brownies, as candy decorations may pose a choking hazard.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • For a stronger chocolate flavor, add a tablespoon of espresso powder to the batter.
  • To make them extra gooey, under bake slightly and serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
