Ingredients
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup white frosting or melted white chocolate
Black decorating icing, as needed

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until combined.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
Add the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir gently until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely.
Cut the brownies into 16 squares.
Decorate with white frosting or melted white chocolate to create Halloween ghosts and spiderwebs.
Add eyes and spooky details using black decorating icing.
Finish with Halloween sprinkles or candy decorations and allow the decorations to set before serving.
