Reasons Why You’ll Love These Halloween Sprinkle Brownies

How to Make the Cutest Halloween Sprinkle Brownies

There’s something so satisfying about turning plain brownies into tiny spooky canvases. Here’s how you’ll do it.

Kitchen Tools You’ll Need to Make Halloween Sprinkle Brownies

Grab these tools and you’re set for sprinkle magic:

• Cookie cutters in Halloween shapes (bats, ghosts, pumpkins, etc.)
• Small offset spatula or butter knife – if you need to frost
• Wax paper or parchment
• Tray or cutting board for decorating

Ingredients You’ll Need to Make Halloween Sprinkle Brownies

Because these are shortcut treats, it’s literally just:

• Store-bought brownies
• Halloween sprinkles
• A tiny bit of icing or melted chocolate to “glue” sprinkles in place, if needed

Step-by-Step Instructions

These Halloween Sprinkle Brownies come together in mere minutes. Follow these steps for perfect spooky shapes every time:

Step 1: Frost

Spread a thin layer of frosting over each brownie, just enough to make a sprinkle magnet.

Step 2: Cookie Cutter Magic

Set a Halloween cookie cutter right on top of a brownie and press it down lightly to “hug” the frosting. No cutting here, you’re simply creating a sprinkle stencil.

Step 3: Sprinkle Spell

Pour Halloween sprinkles inside the cutter. Gently tap with your fingertip or spoon so they snuggle into the frosting.

Step 4: Remove Excess

While holding the cutter in place, carefully flip the brownie upside down over a bowl to let extra sprinkles rain down. You might need to refill + shake once or twice, depending on how clingy your sprinkles are.

Step 5: The Big Reveal

Lift the cookie cutter straight up to reveal your crisp sprinkle shape. (Cue the happy dance.) If a few rogue sprinkles escape, nudge them back with a toothpick.

Step 6: Repeat + Serve

Repeat the process for all your brownies, line them up on a cute tray, and get ready to enjoy this instant spooky snack magic.

Recipe Tips and Tricks

• Work Over a Tray: Catches extra sprinkles so you can reuse them.
• Mix Shapes: Different cookie-cutter shapes look great on one platter.

Recipe Variations, Additions, and Substitutions

• Try different holiday sprinkles for other seasons.
• Use blondies instead of brownies for a lighter canvas.
• Add candy eyes, gummy worms, or mini candy corn for extra Halloween fun.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I make these ahead of time?

A: Yes! Cut and sprinkle the brownies up to a day in advance, store covered in an airtight container in the fridge, and bring to room temperature before serving.

Q: Do I need frosting under the sprinkles?

A: Not always, fresh, slightly sticky brownies hold sprinkles well. But a tiny swipe of icing or melted chocolate can help if yours are dry.
