To craft these spooky treats, you’ll need:

• 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch square baking pan
• Mixing bowls (large and medium)
• Whisk and rubber spatula
• Sifter (for flour and cocoa powder)
• Microwave-safe bowl (for melting chocolate)
• Parchment paper
• Toothpick or skewer (for spiderweb design)
• Cooling rack

🛒 Ingredients

Here’s everything you’ll need to make about 16 rich and spooky brownies:

Dry Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ¾ cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
• 1½ cups granulated sugar
• ¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

• ¾ cup refined coconut oil (or unsalted butter, melted)
• 3 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Chocolate Additions

• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (for inside the brownies)
• ½ cup white chocolate chips (for spiderweb topping)
• ½ cup heavy cream (for melting white chocolate)

👩‍🍳 Directions

Step 1: Preheat & Prep

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Line a baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
3. Lightly grease the parchment to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Combine the Wet Ingredients

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together coconut oil (or melted butter), sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
2. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition until glossy and combined.

Step 3: Add the Dry Ingredients

1. Sift in flour, cocoa powder, and salt directly into the wet mixture.
2. Fold gently with a spatula until just combined — don’t overmix!
3. Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips for extra fudgy texture.

Step 4: Bake the Brownies

1. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top evenly.
2. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
3. Allow the brownies to cool completely on a rack before decorating.

Step 5: Create the Spiderweb Design

1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and heavy cream.
2. Microwave in 15-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth and glossy.
3. Pour the melted white chocolate into a piping bag or ziplock bag with a small corner cut off.
4. Pipe 3–4 concentric circles (like a target) on top of the cooled brownies.
5. Using a toothpick, drag lines from the center outward to create a perfect spiderweb effect! 🕸️

Step 6: Chill & Slice

1. Refrigerate for 15–20 minutes to set the white chocolate design.
2. Slice into squares or rectangles and serve your spooky delights!

❓ 10 FAQs

1. Can I use butter instead of coconut oil?
   Yes! Unsalted butter gives a richer flavor.
2. Can I use natural cocoa powder?
   Dutch-process cocoa gives better color and depth, but natural cocoa works too.
3. How do I make the web if I don’t have a piping bag?
   Use a small plastic sandwich bag and snip off a tiny corner.
4. How do I know when my brownies are done?
   The center should be just set — don’t overbake or they’ll lose that fudgy texture.
5. Can I double this recipe?
   Yes — bake in a 9×13-inch pan for about 35–40 minutes.
6. Can I use milk chocolate instead of semi-sweet?
   Sure! Just reduce sugar slightly to balance sweetness.
7. How can I make my brownies extra fudgy?
   Use less flour (¾ cup) and bake slightly under time.
8. Can I decorate with something other than white chocolate?
   Yes — try royal icing, cream cheese frosting, or colored candy melts.
9. Do I need to chill before slicing?
   Yes, chilling helps the web set and gives cleaner cuts.
10. Can I add toppings before baking?
    Definitely! Sprinkle mini chocolate chips or Halloween sprinkles on top before baking.
