Spooky Chocolate Bark Brownies #Halloween

Okay confession time.

I am a huge giant scaredy cat.  These spooky brownies are pretty much as spooky as I get at any given time.

As much as I love pumpkin spice. and cutesy Halloween stuff, and dressing up, I pretty much loathe the rest of the season.

I tend to avoid the TV unless It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown is on or hubs is able to fast forward through commercials.  I mean, I fast forward commercials anytime, but this time of year?  The commercials for horror movie give me nightmares.  Ugh! More power to you if you love horror flicks, but I just can’t.  Yikes.

Anyhow onward to some cutesy spooky brownies.

Okay wait, second confession.  I still haven’t found a homemade brownie recipe I like as well as the boxed mixes.  Seriously, they’re either too dry or not chocolately enough.  So if you have a homemade version that rivals the boxed stuff, I’d love to hear about it in the comments!

Anyway, these brownies are all about the toppings, because more chocolate always makes everything better.  The end.

And also they’re kinda cute.  And not scary at all.  Unless you’re Spud who looked at the eyeballs and the red candy melts and thought that there were dead things on the brownies.  Then it just gets weird. Imma stick with cutesy, ok?
