Eye of newt Halloween brownies

Halloween brownies party treats

So your kids tell you mom you have to bring something for my Halloween party.  You panic, what will you bring?  What about Eye of Newt Halloween brownies?

You can make this easy brownie recipe and add your candies and eyes and boom, you have a semi-quick save the day treat for your kids Halloween party.

Brownies are one of the easier recipes to make homemade. This recipe is perfect for the Halloween party your friends are throwing and you don’t want to come empty handed.

This is not a overly sweet recipe.  It does contain candy and chocolate candy in it.  This is sweet enough to balance out the flavors of the brownie perfectly.

Your kids will love helping and putting the eyes into the brownies too.  If you have raspberry or strawberry jelly, you could drizzle that over the top for a ‘blood’ effect, but they are perfectly fine without that.
