Halloween treats

The dilemma

I want to make something fun for Halloween that both kids and adults will love.

The solution

Forget packets of sweets – if you want a real treat this Halloween, these decadent brownies will do the trick

Brownies are my go-to bake for most occasions – birthdays, school bake sales, or served warm as a dessert at dinner parties, with ice cream. They are the most versatile treat, and perfect for a Halloween get-together, too. Here, I’ve made my favourite brownie recipe, then decorated the traybake with spooky cookie eyeballs. They look the part, but are really simple to make, and just require a little hands-on time. For quicker decoration, you can crumble the cookies through the brownie mixture, and use the icing to pipe creepy spiderwebs on top.
