Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Pan
  • Microwave

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 12 candy eyeballs

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a small baking pan with parchment paper.
  • Melt the butter and chocolate chips together in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth.
  • Stir in the sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  • Add the flour and salt, then mix until just blended.
  • Fold in 2 tablespoons of the peanut butter to create swirls in the batter.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20 to 22 minutes until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  • Let the brownies cool completely in the pan.
  • Warm the remaining 2 tablespoons of peanut butter and dot small amounts on top of the cooled brownies.
  • Press 3 candy eyeballs onto each brownie using the warm peanut butter to help them stick.

Notes

Warm the peanut butter just enough to make it spreadable for the eyeballs, as overheating can make it too thin. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days to keep the texture fudgy. If the candy eyeballs slide, chill the brownies for 10 minutes after placing them.
