Ingredients

Scale

Fudgy Brownie Bites

  • 1 box (18.3 oz) Fudge Brownie Mix
  • 2 large Eggs
  • ⅔ cup Vegetable Oil
  • ¼ cup Water

Vibrant Monster Frosting

  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
  • 3 cups Powdered Sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 2 tablespoons Milk or Heavy Cream
  • Green Gel Food Coloring

Spooky Decorations

  • 1 package Candy Eyeballs (various sizes)
  • Red Gel Food Coloring (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Baking Station: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Thoroughly grease and flour a 24-cup mini muffin pan to prevent sticking. If you don’t have a mini muffin pan, a 9×13 inch baking pan can be used, but brownies will need to be cut into small squares after baking and cooling.
  2. Mix the Brownie Batter: In a large bowl, combine the fudge brownie mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Stir with a wooden spoon or spatula just until the ingredients are incorporated, leaving a few small lumps to maintain a dense, chewy texture. Avoid overmixing for best results.
  3. Fill and Bake the Brownie Bites: Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin pan cups, filling each about two-thirds full for proper rise without overflow. Use a small cookie scoop for uniform size. Bake on the center rack for 12-15 minutes, until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  4. Create the Indentations: As soon as the pan is removed from the oven and brownies are hot, use the back of a lightly greased teaspoon or wooden spoon handle to press gently into the center of each brownie bite, creating a small crater to hold the frosting.
  5. Cool Completely: Let the brownie bites cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool fully to room temperature. Ensuring brownies are completely cool is critical to prevent frosting from melting and sliding off.
  6. Whip Up the Monster Frosting: While brownies cool, beat softened unsalted butter in a large bowl on medium speed for about 2 minutes until light and fluffy, using a hand or stand mixer.
  7. Add Sugar and Flavor: Gradually add sifted powdered sugar one cup at a time on low speed, then add vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons of milk or cream. Increase speed to medium-high and beat 3-4 minutes until smooth, airy and light. Adjust consistency with more milk or powdered sugar as needed.
  8. Color Your Frosting: Add green gel food coloring a few drops at a time, mixing on low until the desired vibrant green shade is achieved, from pale lime to deep forest green.
  9. Decorate Your Monsters: Using a small spatula, knife, or piping bag, fill each brownie crater generously with the green frosting once brownies are completely cooled.
  10. Bring Your Monsters to Life: Immediately press candy eyeballs into the frosting while it is still soft. Use various sizes and quantities per brownie for creative effect. Optionally, use red gel coloring and a toothpick to paint bloodshot veins on the eyeballs. Allow frosting to set for about 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure brownies are fully cooled before frosting to prevent melting.
  • Using gel food coloring prevents frosting thinning compared to liquid colorings.
  • Mini muffin pans guarantee uniform brownie bites; use cookie scoop for even portions.
  • If a mini muffin pan is unavailable, bake brownies in a standard pan and cut into bite-sized squares after cooling.
  • For extra spooky effect, add red gel “bloodshot” veins on candy eyeballs.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
