Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (225 g) unsalted butter
- 2 cups (400 g) granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (90 g) unsweetened cocoa powder

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×13 inch (23×33 cm) baking pan.
- Melt the unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over low heat, then combine with granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt, then gradually add to the wet mixture.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes.
- Let the brownies cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes, then cool completely on a wire rack.
- Crumble additional chocolate cookies for the “dirt” topping.
- Cut the cooled brownies into squares, sprinkle crumbled cookies on top, add gummy worms, and arrange candy tombstones.
Notes
- For gluten-free brownies, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend.
- For vegan brownies, replace eggs with flaxseed meal or applesauce and use vegan butter.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days.
