Halloween calls for treats that are equal parts creepy and delicious—and these Kitchen Bitchen Skull Brownies deliver just that. Deep, fudgy chocolate baked into hauntingly perfect skull shapes will make your dessert table look wickedly cool. Serve them as-is for a classy spooky vibe, or dress them up with red “blood” drizzle for extra Halloween flair.

🕸 Ingredients

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 4 large eggs
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened, high quality)
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional, for extra fudginess)

🎃 Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your skull brownie pan well (or use a light nonstick spray).
2. Melt the magic – In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the granulated and brown sugar until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. Mix it up – Whisk in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla.
4. Make it rich – In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Slowly fold dry ingredients into wet mixture. Stir in chocolate chips if using.
5. Pour & bake – Spoon batter into the skull pan molds, filling about ¾ full. Smooth tops for even baking.
6. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
7. Cool & release – Let brownies cool completely before carefully removing from molds.

💀 Fun Serving Ideas

• Bloody Drizzle: Use raspberry or strawberry sauce to make it look like blood oozing from the eyes.
• Creepy Dusting: Sprinkle with powdered sugar for ghostly pale skulls.
• Wicked Stack: Pile them on a platter with candy bones or gummy worms for extra spook factor.
