Spooky Halloween treat idea

Decorate with candy eyeballs and edible sprinkles of your choice.
The inspiration:
I’m not sure where my love of Halloween and scary creepy things began. Maybe because I’m an introvert perhaps? It’s the time of year where you can be whatever you want…not to mention score some candy! (or steal a few from your kids bag…or candy dish.) In elementary school, I had the most AWESOME music teacher that would not only teach us fun songs, but usually had a game to play along with the song, especially around the holidays. The most memorable of songs was the Rainbow Connection and Witch’s Brew. These Cupcake Brownie Witch Cauldrons are a nod to that fun memory and best of music teachers!
I also want to thank my mother-in-law, Joan, for her family recipe of the Cupcake Brownies that were handed down to her, from her mother-in-law. This recipe will be cherished and enjoyed for years to come and hopefully I will be able to hand down to my (one day) daughter-in-law and keep the tradition going. Traditionally, these Cupcake Brownies include pecans, but I wanted to make something for kids with nut allergies, and also my step son isn’t fond of any nuts. If you would like to add pecans, add two cups, roughly chopped. This recipe makes 20 large sized cupcake brownies.
Let’s begin!
