FAQ
Can I use homemade brownie batter instead of a boxed mix?
Yes! A boxed mix keeps it simple, but homemade brownies work just as well.
How do I make the brownies bite-sized?
Bake the batter in a mini muffin tin so each brownie looks like a tiny cauldron.
What kind of frosting should I use for the “bubbling” effect?
Green icing or frosting works best. You can use store-bought or homemade.
How far in advance can I make these?
You can bake the brownie bites a day ahead. Decorate them the day you plan to serve for the freshest look.
Tips & Tricks
- Spray your mini muffin tin well so the brownie bites pop out easily.
- If you can’t find bubble/pearl shaped sprinkles, you can use a piping bag (or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped) to make neat green icing “bubbles.”
- Add candy decorations while the icing is still soft so they stick.
- Allow the brownie bites to cool before decorating to make them easier to handle and decorate.
- Get creative—different candies can make your cauldrons look extra spooky!
