Ingredients
  

  • 1 c. butter melted
  • 1 1/4 c. brown sugar packed
  • 1/4 c. granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 3/4 c. all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 c. baking cocoa
  • 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 3/4 tsp. salt
  • 2 tsp. corn starch
  • Frosting:
  • 1/2 c. butter softened
  • 3 1/2 c. powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • Just enough milk for thinning add it 1 Tbsp. at a time, mixing in between
  • Orange food coloring or gel
  • Halloween Sprinkles

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 9"x13" baking pan with parchment paper so it hangs over the sides.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla and eggs. Cream it until the batter lightens in color and gets fluffy.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking cocoa, baking powder, salt and corn starch.
  • Add flour mixture to wet mixture and mix just until incorporated, scraping down the sides with a spatula in between.
  • Spread batter evenly into prepared pan. Bake for about 15-16 minutes, or just until set. Don't over bake or they'll be dry!
  • Let the brownies cool completely on a cooling rack. Use the parchment paper to carefully lift them from the pan.
  • After the brownies are cool, make the frosting by creaming together softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, orange food coloring (4-5 drops or enough to reach desired color), and just enough milk for thinning (1 Tbsp. at a time) in the bowl of an electric mixer. Cream it for at least 4-5 minutes until it's nice and fluffy, creamy and spreadable. Frost the cooled brownies and add Halloween sprinkles.
  • Slice brownies and enjoy!
