A delicious chocolate dessert that will delight at your Halloween gathering!

Ingredients

4 oz unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1 cup butter
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 to 2 (16 oz) packages chocolate candy coating, (also called confectioner's coating, candy melts or bark coating)
10 licorice wheels
50 raspberry gumdrops, (you can also use red candy)
black nonpareils
sprinkles, white cylinder sprinkles, for spider fangs

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 ° and grease an 8-inch square baking pan.
Heat butter and chopped chocolate in microwave on low. Microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring in between until melted and smooth.
In a mixer, add sugar, eggs and vanilla. Mix until combined.
Add the melted chocolate and butter to the sugar mixture and mix until combined.
Add flour and mix until combined.
Spread the brownie batter in greased pan and bake for about 40 minutes or until done. Let cool.
If you want, you can also use brownies from a box mix and just follow the decorating instructions below.
Makes 25 spider bites, more if your roll into smaller balls.
After the brownies are cooled, (they can be still be slightly warm) cut 25 equal brownie squares, trimming off the outside edges first. This will help when you start to roll them.
These brownies were so moist and moldable already, I decided to try rolling them without using any frosting. And it worked out just fine.
