I don't like spooky things, but I'm also about spooky-cute. Especially when it comes to treats. I saw these little witch legs on Amazon and knew I needed to make something with them. They are hilarious! I trimmed them a bit shorter and added them to the top of a batch of brownies. Talk about easy!
Why I Like This Recipe
- Quick and easy. These witch brownies are a dream to make and assemble. A fun recipe for kids to make, too!
- Rich frosting. The brownies are frosted in homemade chocolate frosting and are so smooth and fudgy.
- Semi-homemade recipe. If you'd prefer to make homemade brownies instead of using a boxed mix, you can use my bat brownies recipe. It's easy and delicious. I love boxed mixes and use them just as often, so feel free to use whatever you prefer!

Tips and Tricks
- Witch legs. The ones that I used come in and out of stock. If you're unable to find them, I've linked an alternative that is very similar. You can also make your own using paper straws and cardstock paper.
- Square brownies. I have a divided brownie pan which makes a dozen perfectly square brownies with edges. You can bake these in a muffin pan if you'd like, but I love the square shape! There are so many uses for the divided brownie pan, and it's affordable, so I highly recommend adding a divided brownie pan to your baking cupboard!

Witch Brownies FAQs
I prefer using metal baking pans vs. glass pans when possible because metal pans bake more evenly. My favorite metal pans are light-colored and made of aluminum.
Yes, you can use an egg substitute. If the brownie mix calls for 2 eggs you can use ½ cup of egg substitute or 3 egg whites instead.
Brownie batter often contains small lumps of flour and sugar that may not fully hydrate during mixing. These will dissolve during the baking process.
