Ingredients

For the Brownie Bites:

• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
• ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• ¼ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp baking powder

For the “Melting Pumpkins”:

• ½ cup orange candy melts or white chocolate chips (tinted orange)
• 12 mini peanut butter cups or small round chocolates
• Green frosting or candy for pumpkin “stems”
• Optional: candy eyes for an extra spooky touch

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease or line a mini muffin tin with paper liners.

2. Make the Brownie Batter
In a bowl, whisk together melted butter, sugar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth. Add flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder, stirring just until combined.

3. Bake the Brownie Bites
Spoon batter into mini muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. Bake for 15–18 minutes, until set but still fudgy in the center. Cool completely before decorating.

4. Create the Melting Pumpkins
Melt orange candy melts or white chocolate (tinted with orange food coloring) until smooth. Spoon a small amount on top of each brownie, allowing it to drip slightly for a “melting” effect.

5. Add the Pumpkins
Place a mini peanut butter cup upside down in the center of each melted candy puddle to resemble a pumpkin head. Add green frosting for the stem and, if desired, candy eyes for a spooky look.

6. Set & Serve
Let the toppings set before serving—or enjoy while the “pumpkins” are still gooey for extra fun!
