These adorable Frankenstein brownies start with a brownie mix and end with a cute and delicious mint brownie that looks like Frankenstein’s monster! Perfect for Halloween!
You know me and my love for brownies, I knew that with Halloween coming up I had to make some sort of Halloween brownies, and thus these Frankenstein brownies were born.
Pin these cute Frankenstein Brownies for Later!
I made these brownies easy with a box mix for the brownie base, but you can use your favorite brownie recipe too. I made the frosting for the brownies mint, because I felt like that went well with the green Frankenstein coloring, but you’re welcome to leave the mint extract out and replace it with vanilla for a simple buttercream frosting, or you can even use a canned vanilla frosting to make them even easier.
Then after the frosting is set you’ll stick the candy eyes in, mini chocolate candies for the noses, and drizzle over the top with chocolate for his hair and mouth. You can leave little scars with the chocolate too if you want. And then stick the sides of each brownie with 2 pieces of pretzel sticks for his neck cogs. And voila, Frankenstein’s monster was born.
Now it doesn’t get much easier than these cute treats. They’ll be perfect for your Halloween party or celebration!
