These darling ghost brownies will have everyone around you saying anything but boo! They’re simple to make with just boxed brownie mix, marshmallows, and melting chocolate but impressive all the same!
Spray either a 9x13 baking pan or a brownie pan. with non-stick spray or grease with oil.
Prepare brownies according to directions on box then pour batter evenly into prepared pan.
1 box brownie mix and ingredients to make it
Bake for 20 - 25 minutes or unitl a toothpick comes out clean.
Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely before moving onto the ghosts. Cut into squares once cooled.
Place one marshmallow on each of the brownies.
12 large marshmallows
Melt the white chocolate either in the microwave on 1 minute increments, stirring between each increment, or by using a double boiler on the stove.
12 ounces white chocolate chips
Using a spoon or pouring spout, pour melted white chocolate over top of each of the marshmallows.
Once all brownies are covered, place them in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
While brownies are in refrigerator, melt the chocolate chips in the same way you melted the white chocolate.
3 ounces semi sweet chocolate chips
Place melted chocolate in a piping bag (or plastic bag with the corner cut off) with a small decorating piping tip.
Remove brownies from refrigerator and gently squeeze chocolate through the piping tip to make one dot for each of the eyes, and an oval for the mouth on each brownie.
Let the melted chocolate dry then enjoy immediately or within a few days!
Notes
Increase the amount of marshmallows, white chocolate, and chocolate in the recipe if you’re planning to cut the brownies into more than 12 pieces. This recipe is written for 12 square brownies so you may need more if you make more brownies than that!Use a plastic knife in a sawing motion to cut through the brownies once cooled for the cleanest lines. This will help you give a nice clean look if you’re not using a brownie pan.Place the brownies on a piece of parchment paper before adding the marshmallows and ghosts to make cleanup of any overflowing chocolate easier.Store these in an airtight container (or something like this cupcake carrier) for up to five days before tossing. They will not freeze well!Ingredient Substitutions:
Brownies – you can either use your favorite boxed brownie mix (I love the Ghirardelli double chocolate!) or you can make homemade brownies.
White chocolate – I personally recommend white chocolate melting wafers because they melt and harden the best. But in a pinch, you can use white chocolate chips or white baking chocolate.
Chocolate chips – you can either use melted chocolate chips, chocolate melting wafers, or even just chocolate frosting.
