Spooky Spider Mini Cakes

Super moist and juicy are these chocolate brownies with spooky spider webs, made of yummy sweet frosting. Here is this super cool Halloween brownie recipe.

• ½ cup butter
• 1 cup white sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon baking powder

Frosting:

• 3 tablespoons butter, softened
• 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup confectioners’ sugar

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour an 8-inch square pan.
2. Melt 1/2 cup butter in a large saucepan. Remove from heat, and stir in sugar, eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Beat in 1/3 cup cocoa, flour, salt, and baking powder. Spread batter into prepared pan.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until top is dry and edges have started to pull away from the sides of the pan, about 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool briefly before frosting.
4. To make the frosting: Combine softened butter, confectioners’ sugar, 3 tablespoons cocoa, honey, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in a bowl. Stir until smooth. Frost brownies while they are still warm.
5. To create the spider web, simply make multiple circles one inside the other with the frosting, then take a toothpick and from the center drag the pick to the edge toward the biggest circle. Repeat this process all around the brownie.
