Prep the Brownies

Before diving into the decorations, make sure your brownies are fully baked and ready to go. A classic fudge brownie recipe works best since it’s rich and provides a sturdy base for decorations.

Cool Completely

Let the brownies cool fully in the pan before cutting them. Warm brownies can crumble, making it difficult to achieve clean edges for decorating.

Cut into Shapes

For the classic monster look, cut your brownies into squares or rectangles. However, if you want some variety, you could use a round cookie cutter for circular monster faces. Ensure all pieces are about the same size for a uniform look.

Set Up a Decorating Station

Organize your decorating supplies before you begin. You’ll need colorful frosting, candy eyes, and any other monster details you want to add, such as sprinkles, edible glitter, or fondant pieces.

Make the Decorations

Now that your brownies are prepped, it’s time to bring the monsters to life! Use vibrant colors and fun details to give each brownie its own personality.

Add a Base Layer of Frosting

Choose bright colors like green, purple, or blue for your monsters’ faces. Spread or pipe frosting over the top of each brownie to create a smooth base.

For a bit of texture, use a fork or spatula to create fur-like ridges on some of the brownies.

Place Candy Eyes

Give each monster brownie one, two, or even three candy eyes to create different monster personalities.

You can position them close together for a friendly look or far apart for a wacky effect. If you don’t have candy eyes, use white and black icing dots to create eyes.

Add Fun Facial Features

Use black icing or edible markers to draw on mouths, fangs, or silly expressions. For extra detail, you can add small fondant shapes like horns, eyebrows, or ears to give each brownie a unique look.

A piping bag fitted with a small tip will allow you to create sharp details, like little frowns or stitches.

Top with Edible Glitter or Sprinkles

For a magical, sparkly finish, lightly dust some edible glitter over each brownie. Alternatively, add Halloween-themed sprinkles, like bones or bats, to give your monster brownies a bit of extra flair. If you want a scarier look, use black or red sprinkles as “monster fur.”

With these simple steps, you’ll have a batch of colorful, festive Monster Brownies that are sure to stand out on any Halloween dessert table.

Each brownie can have its own unique look, making these treats both delicious and fun to make. For all the decorating tools you need, check out our Halloween baking supplies and get creative with your monster designs!
