Ingredients
Brownies
- 15 brownies, baked and cooled
Decorations
- 2 cups green icing (Wilton Leaf Green recommended)
- 2 cups black decorating icing
- 40 candy eyeballs
Instructions
- Slice Brownies: Cut the baked and cooled brownies into 15 equal square pieces, ensuring a neat surface for decorating.
- Apply Green Icing: Spread a generous layer of green icing evenly on top of each brownie to create Frankenstein's skin tone.
- Decorate Hair: Using black decorating icing fitted with a round Wilton Tip 5, draw a zig-zag pattern along the top hairline of each brownie and outline the rest of the head. Fill in the hair area completely with the black icing.
- Add Eyes: Place two candy eyeballs on each brownie, positioning them to represent Frankenstein's eyes.
- Create Mouth: Use the black icing to pipe a small smile or mouth beneath the eyes to give each brownie character.
- Add Stitch Detail: Draw a small stitching pattern on one cheek using the black icing for a classic Frankenstein look.
- Serve: Once decorated, the brownies are ready to serve immediately or can be stored appropriately until serving time.
Notes
- Wilton Leaf Green and Black icing colors were used for a vibrant Frankenstein appearance.
- For those who prefer homemade frosting, prepare cookie frosting and divide it into two bowls, tinting one with green and the other with black food coloring.
- If pastry bags or tips are unavailable, a sandwich bag can be used by snipping off a corner to pipe icing easily.
- These brownies store best in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 days; after that, refrigerate to maintain freshness.
- For optimal appearance and taste, make the brownies the day of serving or no more than one day in advance.
