- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until fully combined.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes.

- Cut the brownies into squares and decorate with melted Ghirardelli wafers, candy eyes, marshmallows, or sprinkles.
Notes
Don’t overmix the batter to keep the brownies fudgy. Use quality cocoa for the best flavor.
