Featuring your favorite rich, fudgy brownies topped with vibrant dark purple frosting and adorable Peep Ghost decorations, this recipe is a fun and festive treat perfect for parties or family gatherings during the spooky season.

Ingredients

Scale

Brownies

  • 1 box brownie mix for a 9-inch pan (e.g., Betty Crocker Favorites Fudge Brownie Mix)
  • Ingredients required on brownie mix box (typically eggs, water, and oil)

Frosting

  • 2 cups dark purple frosting (e.g., Global Sugar Art Cake & Cupcake Buttercream Frosting Decorator Icing Deep Purple or homemade vanilla buttercream with purple food coloring)

Decorations

  • 1 package Peep Ghosts (alternative options: Peep Frankenstein, pumpkins, or skulls)
  • Sprinkles of your choice
  • Candy eyeballs

Instructions

  1. Bake the brownies: Prepare the brownie mix according to the box instructions, including adding required eggs, water, and oil. Pour the batter into a 9-inch pan and bake as directed. Once done, remove from oven and allow the brownies to cool completely before frosting.
  2. Frost the brownies: Using 2 cups of dark purple frosting, spread an even layer over the completely cooled brownies. You can use store-bought purple frosting like Global Sugar Art Cake & Cupcake Buttercream or make your own vanilla buttercream and color it with purple food coloring.
  3. Add the Peep Ghosts: Place 9 Peep Ghost candies evenly spaced atop the frosted brownies. You can substitute with other themed Peeps, such as Frankenstein, pumpkins, or skulls, for variety.
  4. Decorate with sprinkles and candy eyeballs: Sprinkle your favorite Halloween-themed sprinkles and affix candy eyeballs on or around the Peep Ghosts to enhance the spooky appearance.
  5. Serve: Cut the brownies into squares, ensuring each piece has a Peep Ghost and decorative sprinkles, then serve and enjoy your festive Halloween treat!

Notes

  • Allow the brownies to cool fully before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • You can customize the frosting color to match any Halloween theme by using gel food colorings.
  • For a homemade touch, try making your own brownies from scratch instead of using a boxed mix.
  • Store frosted brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
  • These brownies can be made a day ahead and decorated just before serving.
