INGREDIENTS FOR HALLOWEEN CANDY BROWNIES
You don't need anything tot crazy to whip up a batch of these insanely delicious brownies. You'll just need your basic brownie ingredients pus some of your favor Here's a list of everything you'll need.
• All-purpose flour
• Cocoa powder
• Salt
• Unsalted butter
• Vegetable oil
• Granulated sugar
• Eggs
• Vanilla extract
• Halloween candy (chocolate)
MAKING HALLOWEEN CANDY BROWNIES
This brownie batter comes together in just minutes! Here's what you'll need to do:
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease an 8x8 baking pan and line it with parchment paper, if desired. Set it aside.
Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Whisk for around a full minute until mixture starts to look a little frothy. This is what is going to help get you a classic crackly brownie top.
Step 3: Add in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and espresso powder and whisk until everything is combined and the batter is smooth.
Step 4: Fold in the cup of leftover Halloween candy. Candies like M&Ms can be thrown in as is, but I recommend chopping any candy bars or cups into pieces.
Step 5: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly. Pop into the preheated oven and bake for 30-32 minutes. Once out of the oven, immediately and carefully press more Halloween candy into the top of the brownies, if desired. Allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing.
TIPS FOR THE BEST BROWNIES
♦ Whisk the wet ingredients well. I have found that one of the secrets to the perfect crackly top on brownies is to whisk the wet ingredients well. I recommend whisking that mixture for close to 2 minutes until well mixed and a bit frothy.
♦ Add more candy to the top! There's already a bunch of candy mixed inside these brownies, but why not add more to the top?! As soon as the brownies come out of the oven, you can carefully press even more candy into the top of them!
♦ Cool brownies completely before slicing. Brownies can be sticky and sometimes difficult to slice cleanly. Allowing them to cool complete before slicing will help ensure they cut clean every time!
