Instructions
 

Brownies

  • Heat oven to 350℉/177℃.
  • Spray a 9-inch x 13-inch pan with baking spray. Set aside.
  • Combine butter, chocolate, and cocoa in a small saucepan.
  • Heat and stir over low heat until melted and smooth. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine eggs, sugar, and vanilla.
  • Mix on low speed 1 minute.
  • Increase speed to high.
  • Beat for 10 minutes.
  • Add chocolate mixture.
  • Mix well.
  • Add flour.
  • Mix only to blend.
  • Pour into prepared pan.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until desired degree of doneness.

Decoration

  • Combine chocolate and coconut oil in a small bowl.
  • Microwave in 15 second increments, stirring after each, until melted and smooth.
  • Stir in cocoa powder.

  • Put chocolate mixture in piping bag.
  • Pipe decoration onto brownies.
  • Add candy eye.
  • Allow to dry.

Notes

Make sure to beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla for a full 10 minutes! The chocolate should not be hot when adding to the egg mixture. Use a cake tester to see when the brownies are done baking. You can cut the brownies into any shape you’d like! We chose rectangles to be more “book” like, but you can cut them into squares if you need more brownies. When whisking the cocoa powder into the melted chocolate for the decoration, make sure to whisk until it’s completely smooth! Since there is coconut oil in the chocolate, it takes a while for the chocolate to set. Make sure to place a dot of chocolate under the candy eye to help it stay!
