2. Ingredients for Spellbook Brownies

• 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• White chocolate chips (for “pages”)
• Black fondant or black icing (for “spellbook covers”)
• Assorted edible decorations (optional, for magical effects)

3. Step-by-Step Instructions for Making Spellbook Brownies

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a rectangular baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Mix the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, combine melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
3. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add to wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
5. Cool the brownies completely before decorating. Once cooled, cut into rectangles to resemble spellbook pages.
6. Create the spellbook covers: Roll out black fondant or icing and cut into rectangles slightly larger than the brownie rectangles. Attach to the top of each brownie with edible glue or a small dab of royal icing.
7. Add magical details: Embellish the covers with edible decorations or writing to mimic ancient spellbooks, enhancing the spooky effect for your Hocus Pocus recipes.

4. Storage Tips for Spellbook Brownies

Store your spellbook brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, keep them in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for up to a month. To maintain their festive appearance, add fondant decorations just before serving.

5. Serving Suggestions for Halloween Movie Food

Arrange your beautifully decorated Hocus Pocus-inspired brownies on a spooky platter and serve alongside other Halloween movie food favorites like caramel apples, popcorn, or creepy cookies.
