Prep Time 15 minutes
Servings 16 brownies

Ingredients

For the candy eyes:

  • 32 brown M&Ms
  • 2 oz white chocolate melted (in a ziplock/piping bag with the end snipped off)

For the brownies:

  • 1 batch of 9×9 brownies cut into 16 rectangles
  • 3/4 cup white frosting any kind you like
  • green food coloring I used both, neon green and regular green
  • 32 brown M&Ms
  • 32 colored M&Ms
  • Chocolate jimmies
  • 2 oz bittersweet chocolate melted (in a ziplock/piping bag with the end snipped off)
  • Red decorating gel/icing

Instructions

To make the eyes:

  • Line a tray with parchment paper and pipe 32 small dollops (about 1/4 tsp) of white chocolate, a little bit apart.
  • In the center of each dollop, place a brown M&M, (logo side down).
  • Place the tray in the freezer for 5-10 minutes or until the chocolate has hardened.

To decorate the brownies:

  • Dye the icing with the desired shade of green.
  • Spread evenly on top of the brownies- runny icing like mine should drip down the sides. Let the icing sit for several minutes just to firm up slightly if thin.
  • Place 2 candy eyes on each brownie around a little less than 1/2 way from the top.
  • Sprinkle the jimmies above the eyes.
  • Place the M&M’s or gumdrops on either side of the brownie on the same line as the eyes- this is where drippy icing is useful (watch video for clearer instructions).
  • Using the melted bittersweet chocolate, draw in the mouth and eyebrows- I like to do squiggly lines for the mouth.
  • Finish the brownies by drawing scars using the red decorating gel or icing. Do this by drawing a straight line and then cutting through with smaller perpendicular lines.
