Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder for richness
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour for structure
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar sweetens the brownies
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil for moisture
  • 3 large eggs bind the ingredients
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract add flavor
  • 4 oz white chocolate for topping
  • 24 small white chocolate chips or candies for eyes

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Silicone spatula
  • 8x8 inch baking pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Small spoon or toothpick

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line the baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate in 30-second bursts, stirring in between until smooth.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and vanilla until well combined and slightly frothy.
  4. Add the melted white chocolate to the egg mixture and stir until smooth.
  5. In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder and flour, then gradually fold them into the wet ingredients with a spatula until just combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan.
  8. Once cooled, lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper and cut into small squares.
  9. Melt the remaining white chocolate slightly to make it easier to work with. Use a small spoon or toothpick to place two white chocolate chips or candies on each brownie as eyes, creating a ghostly face.
  10. Allow the eyes to set slightly before serving so they adhere firmly to the brownies.
  11. Arrange the ghost brownies on a serving platter and enjoy their dark, fudgy texture with playful white eyes for a spooky fun treat.

Notes

For best results, use high-quality white chocolate and work quickly when attaching the eyes to prevent melting. You can also use edible markers to draw faces instead of chocolate eyes for variety.
