Ingredients

For the Brownies:
1 box brownie mix (plus ingredients listed on the box)

For the Frosting:
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
Dash of salt
2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
1–2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream (or milk)
1 teaspoon Adams Pure Vanilla Extract

For Decorating:
Crayola Food Coloring, Crayola Colors of Kindness assorted colors
Candy eyes
Piping bags
Your favorite piping tip

Preparation

Make the Brownies:

Preheat the oven according to your brownie mix package directions.
Prepare the brownie batter as directed on the box.
Spray a mini muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray and fill each cup about ¾ full.
Bake according to package instructions, reducing bake time slightly for mini muffins (typically 12–15 minutes).
Remove from oven and allow brownies to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Make the Frosting:

In
a large bowl, beat softened butter and a dash of salt with an electric
mixer for 1 minute until smooth.
Add
powdered sugar in batches, mixing on low speed and scraping the sides of
the bowl after each addition.
Mix
in 1 tablespoon of cream and the vanilla extract. Beat until fluffy. If
the frosting is too thick, add another tablespoon of cream or a splash of
milk to reach your desired consistency.

Decorate the Monsters:

Divide the frosting evenly into separate bowls. Add drops of Crayola Food
Coloring to each bowl to create bright monster colors. Mix well.
Transfer colored frosting to piping bags fitted with a grass tip (#233) or similar.
Pipe “fur” all over the tops of the brownie bites.
Immediately press candy eyes into the frosting before it sets.
