Ingredients
Scale
- 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)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a rectangular baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Cool the brownies completely before decorating. Once cooled, cut into rectangles to resemble spellbook pages.
- 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.
- Add magical details: Embellish the covers with edible decorations or writing to mimic ancient spellbooks, enhancing the spooky effect for your Halloween recipes.
Notes
- Store your spellbook brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for up to a month.
- Add fondant decorations just before serving to maintain their festive appearance.
