When it comes to making these super easy brownie cupcakes the trick is all in how you bake them. Start by preparing a box of Betty Crocker™ Fudge Brownie Mix according to the instructions. Then, instead of baking them in a single pan, divide the batter into a muffin tin to create 18 perfectly portioned cupcake-style brownies. All that's left to do is to frost and decorate them anyway you like. Serve them after dinner, at birthdays, parties and potlucks. They're the perfect - and cutest - way to serve brownies no matter what the occasion.

Kick-start your Halloween party with these devilishly delicious Trick-or-Treat Brownie Cupcakes! Each cupcake is a perfect fusion of a classic brownie and a delightful cupcake, topped with a creamy orange frosting that resembles a Jack-O-Lantern's radiant grin.

To create these festive treats, gather your culinary arsenal: all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, unsweetened cocoa powder, melted unsalted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and an assortment of orange-hued candies for decoration.

Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare the battlefield for your brownie cupcakes. Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners, ensuring they're ready to embrace the batter's velvety embrace.

In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder. Ensure they're evenly distributed, creating a harmonious blend of dry ingredients.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until they resemble a smooth, golden elixir. Pour this luscious mixture into the dry ingredient bowl, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this may result in dense, less-than-desirable cupcakes.

Equally distribute the batter among the prepared cupcake liners, filling them about two-thirds full. Bake these delectable treats in the preheated oven for approximately 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges with just a few moist crumbs attached.

While the cupcakes bask in their post-oven glow, prepare the creamy orange frosting, the crowning glory of these Halloween delights. In a mixing bowl, whip together the softened butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy, akin to a cloud.

Gradually incorporate the powdered sugar, ensuring it blends seamlessly into the butter-cream cheese mixture. Add a splash of milk, allowing it to lend its smoothing touch to the frosting, creating a velvety texture.

Tint the frosting with orange food coloring, transforming it into a vibrant representation of the autumnal hues. Transfer the orange frosting into a piping bag fitted with a star tip, ready to adorn the cupcakes.

Once the cupcakes have sufficiently cooled, unleash your creativity and decorate them with the prepared orange frosting. Pipe swirls, dollops, or any design that captures the spirit of Halloween.

Top each cupcake with an assortment of orange-hued candies, adding a touch of playful charm. Candy corn, orange sprinkles, gummy pumpkins, or even miniature chocolate chips can serve as delightful decorations.

Allow the cupcakes to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, allowing the frosting to set and the flavors to meld together harmoniously.

Serve these Trick-or-Treat Brownie Cupcakes at your Halloween party, and watch as they vanish, leaving behind smiles, sugar-coated lips, and memories that will last long after the last candy is devoured.

Tips:

  • For fudgier brownies, reduce the baking time by 2-3 minutes.
  • For a richer frosting, use full-fat cream cheese.
  • If the frosting is too thick, add a little more milk until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free flour.
  • To make these cupcakes ahead of time, bake them according to the recipe and let them cool completely. Frost them and decorate them just before serving.

Conclusion:

These Trick-or-Treat Brownie Cupcakes are a delightful Halloween treat that is sure to be a hit with kids and adults alike. They're easy to make and can be decorated in a variety of ways, making them perfect for any Halloween party.
