Notes

Be sure to check the Expert Tips and FAQs above with important tips and questions that can help make a delicious recipe.
Note 1: For easy decorating, we use chocolate icing with a piping tube attached for the chocolate lines. The other option is to use chocolate melting wafers. They can be melted in the microwave and placed into a piping bag for decorating the brownies. 
Be sure to check Expert Tips and FAQs above with important tips and questions that can help make a delicious recipe. 
Tip: Be sure to let the brownies completely cool before decorating. Otherwise, the chocolate will run and melt into the brownies. 
Decorating:
  • Slice the brownies into 9 pieces. Drop a dot of black icing onto each brownie. Secure a candy eye to each spot. 
  • Based on your decorating preference, draw a chocolate line around each eye in the shape of a circle or diamond. 
  • Along one side of the brownie piece, draw a straight line with the chocolate and then a squiggly line next to it. 
  • Use our brownie decorations above to make your decorations. 
Storage: Keep the brownies in a covered airtight container. If they are not all eaten, they can be kept for up to 3-4 days.
