Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 servings
Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- 24 candy eyeballs
- 1/2 cup white frosting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 24-cavity mini muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix thoroughly with a whisk or electric mixer until the batter is smooth and no dry ingredients remain.
- Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, carefully fill each mini muffin cavity about 2/3 full with the brownie batter, ensuring even distribution.
- Place the mini muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a brownie bite - it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove the brownie bites from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the tin for about 15-20 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool entirely.
- Once cooled, use a piping bag or small spoon to add a dollop of white frosting on top of each brownie bite, creating a base for the candy eyeball.
- Gently press a candy eyeball into the center of the white frosting on each brownie bite, ensuring it's securely positioned.
- Refrigerate the brownie bite eyeballs for 10-15 minutes to help the frosting set and stabilize the candy eyes.
- Serve and enjoy your spooky Halloween Brownie Bite Eyeballs! Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Perfect Baking Time: Keep a close eye on your brownie bites as they bake. Start checking for doneness at the 18-minute mark to avoid overbaking; they should be moist and fudgy!
- Cooling is Key: Allow the brownie bites to cool completely in the tin before transferring them to a wire rack. This helps them maintain their shape and prevents them from crumbling.
- Frosting Fun: For an extra spooky touch, consider adding a few drops of food coloring to the white frosting to create different colors for your eyeballs!
- Candy Eyeball Placement: When pressing the candy eyeballs into the frosting, make sure they are secure so they don’t slide off when served.
- Chill for Stability: Refrigerating the brownie bites after decorating helps the frosting set and ensures that the candy eyeballs stay in place, making for a more visually appealing treat.
- Storage Tips: Keep your brownie bite eyeballs in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain their freshness for up to three days.Enjoy making these ghoulishly good treats, and watch them disappear faster than you can say "Boo!"
