These creepy-cute brownies are the perfect treat for your Halloween bash! Fudgy brownies get layered with orange-tinted cream cheese then topped with sprinkles and googly eyes for a spooktacular look.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 8x8 baking dish with foil, grease and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugars, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well incorporated.
Add egg, melted coconut oil, and vanilla to the flour mixture and fold until all flour is wet and you have a thick batter.
Pour brownie layer into prepared pan and set aside.
In a medium size bowl, whisk together room temperature cream cheese, egg, and powdered sugar.
Once there are no more lumps in your cream cheese mixture add orange food coloring.
Pour cream cheese layer on top of brownie layer.
Top with sprinkles and googly eyes and bake for 30-35 minutes or until it is no longer jiggling in the center.
Let brownies cool completely in order to make clean cuts.
Notes
*Smaller google eyes tend to melt during baking, if this happens just add some new ones while hot.
*The cream cheese layer may crack. It’s okay, it adds to the spookiness.
