Description

Create a spooky Halloween treat with these Bubbling Witch’s Cauldron Brownies, featuring rich brownie base baked in black liners to mimic cauldrons, topped with melted green candy to resemble bubbling witch’s brew, mini marshmallows, and creepy decorations like candy eyes and gummy frogs.

Ingredients

Brownie Base

  • 1 box brownie mix (plus eggs, oil, and water as directed)
  • 1/2 teaspoon mint or vanilla extract (optional)

Toppings and Decorations

  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup green candy melts
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream or milk
  • Black cupcake liners or silicone baking cups (for cauldron effect)
  • Green or neon green sprinkles
  • Candy eyes or gummy frogs for decoration

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the brownie mix box. Line a muffin tin with black cupcake liners or silicone baking cups to create the look of cauldrons.
  2. Make Brownie Batter: Prepare the brownie batter according to the package directions, stirring in mint extract if desired for a refreshing flavor twist.
  3. Fill and Bake: Spoon the brownie batter into each cup, filling about two-thirds full. Bake as directed on the box, checking doneness with a toothpick inserted into the center.
  4. Cool Brownies: Allow the baked brownies to cool completely in the cupcake liners within the muffin tin.
  5. Melt Candy Melt Topping: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the green candy melts with heavy cream or milk in 15-second intervals, stirring until smooth and glossy.
  6. Decorate: Spoon a small amount of melted green candy over the center of each cooled brownie to mimic bubbling witch’s brew. While the candy is still warm, press mini marshmallows on top, then add candy eyes, green sprinkles, or gummy frogs for a spooky effect.
  7. Set and Serve: Let the decorated brownies set completely before serving to ensure toppings hold in place.

Notes

  • You can substitute with a homemade brownie recipe if preferred for more control over ingredients.
  • Perfect for kids to decorate their own cauldrons using various fun and spooky toppings like bone-shaped sprinkles or licorice tentacles.
  • Use black silicone baking cups for easy removal and a more authentic cauldron look.
