Ingredients
Brownie Mix
1 1/4 lbs (Prepared according to package instructions.)
Eggs
2 (Beaten.)
Vegetable Oil
1/2 cup (Used in brownie mix.)
Water
2 tablespoons (Used in brownie mix.)
Chocolate Frosting
12 ounces (Prepared and ready to use.)
White Frosting
8 ounces (Prepared and ready to use.)
Plastic Spiders
as desired (For decoration.)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Prepare a round cake or disposable foil pizza pan by spraying the bottom with non-stick cooking spray.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Mix until all the ingredients are well combined and batter is smooth.
3
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
4
Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool at room temperature for at least 1 hour.
5
Once cooled, spread a generous layer of chocolate frosting over the entire surface of the brownie cake.
6
To create the spider web, select a focal point on the brownie (this can be off-center). Using the white frosting, start from the focal point and draw straight lines outwards towards the edges of the brownie.
7
Connect these lines with curved, scalloped lines to form a web pattern, making sure to create concentric circles to complete the design.
8
For the finishing touch, decorate the brownie with small plastic spiders and any other creepy-crawly decor you'd like to add.
