- 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs room temperature

Instructions
Bake the brownies:
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Chop the chocolate into small pieces and place in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 second intervals, stirring at each interval, until melted. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix until well combined. Add the melted chocolate and mix well.
- Add the flour, cocoa powder and salt and use a spatula to fold to combine.
- Pour the batter into an 8x8” square baking dish that has been lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for about 25 minutes, then place the dish on a wire rack and allow the brownies to cool completely in the dish.
Make the frosting:
- Place the butter in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
- Add the powdered sugar one cup at a time, mixing until combined, then beat for 2-3 minutes, until light and fluffy.
- Place the frosting into a piping bag fitted with a #45 flat piping tip. This will make the frosting look like flat bandages!
Decorate:
- Use a sharp knife to cut the brownie into 9 even squares.
- Use the frosting to pipe a zigzag pattern across the entire surface of the brownies.
- Stick two candy eyes on top of each brownie and enjoy!
