Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    To easily line the bottom of the pan, tip upside down and form foil around bottom and sides. Flip pan over, and place foil insert inside pan for a perfect fit.
  • tip 2
    There is no one right way to decorate these scary brownies. Half the fun is coming up with your own look, using whatever combination of candies, sprinkles and colored sugars you have.
  • tip 3
    For another spooky brownie idea, replace the colored frosting with 3/4 cup Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy Chocolate Frosting, and decorate as desired.
  • tip 4
    Short on time? Bake the brownie the day before. Once cooled completely, store covered at room temperature. When ready to assemble and decorate, freeze in pan 30 minutes, lift brownie out of pan and continue with spooky brownie recipe.
