Making the Brownies

  3. In a separate bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder, then gradually add to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  4. Fold in chocolate chips, then pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes.
  5. Let brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before frosting.
Decorating

  3. Frost cooled brownies with the colored frosting, then decorate with sprinkles and candy eyeballs.
  4. Cut into squares and serve your spooky Halloween brownies.
