Black Spiders
I used one of my favorite fudgy brownie recipes and topped them off with chocolate frosting! So good, so simple, and so chocolatey.
Ingredients
14 servings
Instructions
- To Make Brownies: Pre-heat oven to 350. Grease a 15x10x2 Pyrex pan*.
- Mix canola oil and butter, add cocoa and stir until well blended.
- Beat eggs with a mixer. Add sugar and vanilla, beat well.
- Add flour and salt. Stir in chocolate chips.
- Spread evenly in pan and bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes (mine took 22 minutes).
- Allow to cool before cutting.
- For the Frosting: In the bowl of a stand mixer beat the butter. Add the powder sugar and beat until combined. Add the cocoa powder and vanilla. Add milk 1 tablespoon at a time until your desired consistency is reached. Scrap down the sides of the bowl and whip one last time for 2-3 minutes to make sure the ingredients are mixed.
- Place the frosting in a piping bag fitted with a small round, leaf, or star tip*. Set aside
- To make the spiders: Use a circle cookie/biscuit cuter to cut out your desired size of circles for the spider "bodies". Place on wax paper for prep, or place them right on your serving tray.
- Take the black legs and stick four on each side of the spider, repeat with remaining spiders.
- Pipe small spikes on the top of the brownies as the spiders hair. You can also just roughly smooth the frosting on with a knife.
- Place two eyes on the edge of one end of the spider, making sure to use the frosting as glue for the eyes. Repeat with remaining spiders.
- If desired sprinkle some black sprinkles on top of the frosting.
- Serve or cover for up to four days.
