My kids are older now but I remember all too well the last minute panic of needing a school treat.  I can’t exactly remember what grade my Tater was in but it was well past 9 p.m. on the night before his Halloween party that he informed me that we needed to bring something for every student the next day.  For the life of me I have forgotten what I pulled together but somehow I waved my {not so} magic wand and dessert appeared before he woke up.  Needless to say, there wasn’t much sleep for mama that night.  I only wish I had thought of Halloween Brownie Bites then.

Now my Tater is a junior in college and I have nothing but wonderful memories of those crazy days but I also have this platform…my blog, Practically Homemade.  A place where I feel like I can help mamas {like myself} not only get through those last minute moments…but ROCK THEM!  Everything you need to make these treats can be found at the grocery store and I promise even a novice decorator can do this!  So lets go…

The grocery store list is simple.  Brownie bites, edible eyeballs, melting wafers, chocolate sprinkles and chocolate and vanilla frosting.  I used small Ziploc bags for decorating bags but you could purchase them as well.

Halloween Brownie Bites:

Ghost Brownie Bites

The ghosts are the most simple to make because they are just a tall swirl of vanilla frosting {I added sprinkling sugar} and edible eyeballs.  Be sure to cut a fairly large hole on the corner of your bag so that you get a wide swirl.  So sweet!

Spider Web Brownie Bites

Making the spider webs is simple too.  I put a coating of chocolate frosting on the top of the brownie bite and then piped a thin swirl of vanilla frosting over the chocolate.

To finish them, all you need is a toothpick.  Start at the middle of the brownie and pull the toothpick to the edge.  Continue to do that 5 or 6 times, being sure to clean the toothpick off with a paper towel every time you start again.

If you wanted to take them a step further then you could always add a M&M to the middle of the web for a spider.

Mummy Brownie Bites

We couldn’t make Halloween goodies and not make a mummy.  I started by putting a layer of vanilla frosting on the top of the cupcake, so that there was a white base.  Then using the same bag of white frosting that I used for the spider web, I made a zigzag pattern over the entire brownie.  Then I went over it again in the opposite direction {it should look like layers}.

A couple of edible eyeballs and they are mummilicious!!

Spider Brownie Bites

Now the spiders might be a little harder than the rest but don’t that stop you.  I put a layer of vanilla frosting on the top of the brownie and then put a melting wafer on the frosting {so it will stick}.

I made a bag of chocolate frosting with a small opening and covered the top of the wafer with frosting.  Then I turned it over and covered it in sprinkles.

Using the same bag of chocolate frosting I piped 8 legs on the spider.

All done…

Instead of using edible eyeballs, I just put a small dot of vanilla frosting and a chocolate sprinkle.  All finished.

Look at how cute these Halloween brownie bites are together!

The perfect dessert when you are in a hurry…or even when you are not because they are so cute!!  Any party would be better with the addition of these babies.

Ingredients

  • 1 pkg {24} brownie bites
  • 1 can chocolate frosting
  • 1 can vanilla frosting
  • 24 edible eyeballs
  • 1/4 cup chocolate sprinkles
  • 3 Ziploc or decorator bags

Instructions

Ghosts:

  • Fill a bag with about 3/4 cup of vanilla frosting and cut a medium-large hole in the corner of the bag.  On the top of 6 brownies make a tall swirl of frosting, starting at the brownie top and ending at the top of the ghost.  Add 2 edible eyeballs.

Spider Webs:

  • Working one brownie at a time, spread about a teaspoon of chocolate frosting over the top of 6 brownies.  Fill a bag with about a 1/2 cup of vanilla frosting and cut a small hole in the corner of the bag.  Starting on the outer edge of the brownie, make a swirl of vanilla frosting that ends in the middle of the brownie.  Take a tooth pick and begin at the middle of the swirl/brownie, pull the tooth pick from the middle toward the outer edge of brownie.  Continue to do so 5-6 times, being sure to clean the tooth pick with a paper towel each time.

Mummies:

  • Spread about a teaspoon of vanilla frosting over the top of 6 brownies.  Using the same bag of vanilla frosting that we used for the spider webs, make a zigzag pattern that starts at the top of the brownie and stops at the bottom.  Do it a second time going in the opposite direction.  It should look like a second layer.  Add two edible eyeballs.

Spiders:

  • Spread about a teaspoon of vanilla frosting over the top of 6 brownies.  Place a chocolate melting wafer in the middle of each Halloween brownie bite and into the vanilla frosting, so that it will stick.  Fill a bag with about 1/2 cup of chocolate frosting and cut a small hole in the corner of the bag.  Cover the top of the melting wafer with chocolate frosting and cover turn over into chocolate sprinkles.  Pipe 8 legs onto each spider, starting on the body and stopping at the edge of the brownie.  To make the eyes, use a small amount of vanilla frosting and a small chocolate sprinkle.
