# List of Ingredients:

→ Butter and Sweeteners

01 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
02 - 1 cup granulated sugar

→ Eggs and Flavoring

03 - 2 large eggs
04 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Dry Ingredients

05 - 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
06 - 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
07 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
08 - 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

→ Add-ins and Decoration

09 - 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
10 - White decorating icing for spiderweb design

# Preparation Steps:

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper.
02 - In a mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth.
03 - Add eggs and vanilla extract to the mixture, whisking until fully combined.
04 - Sift in cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir gently until the batter is just combined.
05 - Fold in semi-sweet chocolate chips if using, ensuring even distribution throughout the batter.
06 - Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
07 - Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting into squares.
08 - Pipe a spiral using white decorating icing on each brownie square. Drag a toothpick from the center outward to create a spiderweb effect. Optionally, add small candy spiders for added decoration.

# Additional Suggestions:

01 - For best results, ensure the brownies are fully cooled before decorating to prevent icing from melting.
