Description
Brimstone Brownies are devilishly rich and fudgy, topped with fiery swirls of red, orange, and yellow frosting to look like molten lava. Perfect for Halloween or any dark and dramatic dessert table!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box brownie mix (or homemade brownie batter)
- Ingredients needed for brownie mix (eggs, oil, water)
- 1 cup white frosting or buttercream, divided
- Red, orange, and yellow gel food coloring
- Optional: edible glitter or gold flakes
Instructions
- Bake brownies: Preheat oven and prepare brownie batter according to package or recipe instructions. Pour into a greased 9×13-inch pan and bake. Let cool completely.
- Divide frosting: Split frosting into three small bowls. Color each one with red, orange, and yellow gel food coloring.
- Decorate: Drop spoonfuls of each colored frosting randomly across the brownie surface. Use a toothpick or skewer to swirl into a fiery “brimstone” pattern.
- Optional: Sprinkle edible glitter or gold flakes over the top for a magical, molten finish.
- Chill and serve: Let frosting set slightly before cutting into bars and serving.
Notes
For more dramatic flames, use a darker brownie base and vibrant gel colors. Store covered at room temperature for 2–3 days.
