Ingredients
  

Brownie Base
  • 1 box Fudge Brownie Mix A convenient base that offers the rich, fudgy texture needed for these Witch Cauldron Brownies.
Frosting
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter Adds smooth richness to the frosting; margarine can be a good substitute if needed.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Enhances the overall flavor of the frosting; swap it for almond extract for a nutty twist.
  • 3 cups Powdered Sugar Sweetness and thickening agent for your frosting; consider powdered erythritol for a healthier option.
Decorations
  • 1 bottle Gel Food Coloring Perfect for achieving vibrant, Halloween-themed colors; natural food coloring works as a healthier choice.
  • 1 cup Large Nonpareils Fun sprinkles that bring a pop of color to your treats; alternatives include colored sugar.
  • 1 cup Candy Eyes Adds a fun and creepy touch, chocolate chips can serve as an alternative.
  • 1 pack Candy Bones Perfect for that spooky stirring effect; gummy worms can be a playful substitute.
