Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 pizza
Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup frosting
- Halloween-themed candy for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a large round pizza pan by lightly greasing it with cooking spray or lining it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Whisk the ingredients together until the batter is smooth and free of lumps, about 2-3 minutes.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pizza pan, using a spatula to spread it evenly to the edges, creating a circular shape that resembles a pizza crust.
- Bake the brownie base in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center - it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove the brownie pizza from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack. This typically takes about 30-45 minutes.
- Once cooled, spread the frosting evenly over the brownie base, leaving a small border around the edge to mimic a pizza crust.
- Decorate the frosted brownie pizza with Halloween-themed candies, creating fun and spooky designs. Consider using candy corn, chocolate spiders, orange and black sprinkles, or mini chocolate pumpkins.
- For best results, chill the brownie pizza in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to allow the frosting to set before slicing and serving.
- Cut into wedges like a pizza and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Tips
- For a perfectly smooth brownie base, mix your batter thoroughly but avoid overmixing, which can make the brownies tough.
- Use a pizza pan or round baking sheet to achieve that authentic pizza shape. Parchment paper helps ensure easy removal and clean cutting.
- Get creative with Halloween candy decorations! Mix textures and colors for a truly spooky design - think chocolate spiders, candy corn "cheese", and orange and black sprinkles.
- Let the brownie cool completely before frosting to prevent melting and ensure a clean, crisp decoration surface.
- Chill the finished brownie pizza before serving to help the frosting set and make cutting into "slices" easier.
- For extra flair, consider using colored frosting that matches Halloween themes - think orange, black, or purple!
- This dessert is perfect for parties, but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making it a great make-ahead treat.
