Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup (40g) unsweetened cocoa powder (Dutch-processed preferred)
  • 1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour (or 1:1 gluten-free blend)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup (90g) chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
  • 12 mini sugar cones
  • 1 cup (180g) dark or milk chocolate chips, melted
  • Colored candy melts (purple, orange, or green)
  • Sprinkles or edible glitter
  • 12 chocolate wafer cookies (such as Oreo Thins)
  • 12 small round candies (like M&M’s or Skittles)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan with butter or baking spray.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter and granulated sugar until glossy and smooth, about 1 minute. Add eggs and vanilla extract, whisking for another 1-2 minutes until the mixture lightens in color.
  3. In a separate small bowl, sift together cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Gently fold with a spatula until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips or chopped chocolate.
  5. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of batter into each mini muffin cup, filling about 2/3 full.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until tops are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Let brownie bites cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then gently remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Melt chocolate chips or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth.
  9. Dip mini sugar cones in the melted chocolate or candy melts, swirling to coat. Let excess drip off. Roll the bottom edge in sprinkles or edible glitter if desired.
  10. Set each cone upside-down on a chocolate wafer cookie to form the hat. Press a small round candy where the cone meets the cookie as a buckle. Let set at room temperature or chill briefly to harden.
  11. Once hats are set and brownies are cool, top each brownie bite with a witch hat. For extra hold, dab a little melted chocolate on the bottom of each hat before placing it on the brownie.

Notes

Cool brownies completely before decorating to prevent melting the chocolate hats. Grease the pan well for easy removal. For gluten-free or dairy-free adaptations, use appropriate substitutes. Decorations are customizable—let kids help for extra fun! Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate if your kitchen is warm.
