Halloween Brownies
All it takes to make these fun Halloween Monster Brownies is a good brownie recipe (gotcha covered with a homemade recipe,) decorations, and some enthusiastic Halloween spirit!
Monster Mash Brownies are my most popular Halloween recipe so, I made the cookie version: Monster Mash Cookies. They’re chocolate cookies with chocolate chips and look much like these except I didn’t use candy melts. So, they’re a great alternative!
I love baking with my boys and especially for Halloween.
It’s so fun to watch our 5 year get spooked out by skeletons. Last year, I had one (plastic of course) sitting in a glass cylinder and he was eyeing it up calling it “that guy!” It was so funny!
So, let’s get started!

How to the Best Make Monster Mash Brownies!
It’s so easy! You can get all of your ingredients from Amazon! See disclosure above.
First, make a batch of brownies. My homemade fudge brownie recipe is included in the printable recipe card below. Let them cool 30 minutes before decorating but, in the meantime, get your candy decorations ready!
Then, green candy melts in the microwave (instructions are included in the printable recipe card below.)

Next, put the green melted candy melts in 3 sections on the uncut brownies. Use up the rest of your green candy melts to make Frankenstein Banana Pops Halloween Kids Treats!
Then, sprinkle orange sprinkles, purple sprinkles and Halloween candy confetti on each each section. Use what you already have or buy this Wilton Halloween sprinkles 6 in 1 container and use the remainder for next Halloween!
Last, add the jumbo candy eyes (shown below) and small candy eyes on each green section. Using big and small candy melts gives depth to the monsters because one looks close up while another looks farther away or one monster has a big eye with a smaller eye and it just looks more silly!
That’s it! This is such a FUN way to celebrate Halloween with toddlers and small children although big kids alike will enjoy the ease with which these brownies come together!
Making these Easy Halloween Monster Mash Fudge Brownies is a really fun activity to celebrate Halloween with your kids!
They’ll love decorating monster brownies and expressing their creativity and artistic ability and this is so much easier and less mess than decorating cookies.
I got this creative idea from Buy This Cook That and made some very small modifications.
