Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup cocoa powder, (plus 2 tablespoons)
1 ½ cups sugar
3 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
¾ cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ cups chocolate chips
1 tablespoon chocolate jimmies
12 Reese’s white chocolate ghost candies

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9 x 13 baking dish with parchment paper. In a medium pot, melt the butter over low heat.
Add the cocoa powder and sugar, and mix to combine. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla. Add the flour, salt, and baking soda, and mix until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, and sprinkle with the chocolate jimmies. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let cool for 10-15 minutes, then place the ghost candies on top. Let cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

Recipe Tips.

Line the baking dish with parchment paper for easy lifting and cleaner slices.
Do not overmix the batter after adding the flour or the brownies can turn cakey instead of fudgy.
Let the brownies cool completely before slicing for the cleanest squares.
Press extra chocolate chips into the top before baking for even more chocolate flavor.

Store. Allow the brownies to completely cool before storing them in an airtight container. The brownies can be kept at room temperature for 3-4 days.

Freeze. Freeze, separating layers with wax paper, for up to 3 months.
