GLUTEN-FREE BROWNIES
- 6 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter or coconut oil
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar or coconut sugar
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
TOPPING
- Reese’s cups see notes

Instructions
- Prepare an 8" square baking pan by lining with parchment paper. To make this step easy, crinkle your parchment paper into a tight ball, then unfold.
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- In a small saucepan, stir chocolate and butter or coconut oil over low heat just until melted and smooth. Set aside to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine eggs, sugar, and brown sugar or coconut sugar. Mix on medium-high 4-5 minutes until light and smooth. Mixture should be about double in size.
- Mix in salt, vanilla, and chocolate mixture, scraping sides with a spatula as needed, until smooth and combined.
- Add cocoa powder and mix until smooth.
- Spread brownie batter into prepared pan.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until toothpick inserted comes out with fudgy crumbs. Be careful to not over-bake.
- When brownies are done, gently press toppings onto the top to create a fun Halloween scene.
- Allow brownies to cool before serving.
Notes
- Always check your labels!
- You can make the brownies from scratch with the provided recipe (they're delicious!) or use a gluten-free box mix. King Arthur's gluten free brownie mix is my personal fav and is linked below.
- Reese's cups are gluten-free with the exception of seasonal shapes like ghosts, pumpkins, etc. Reese's Franken Cups are gluten-free and we used those to add a fun green hue to the top of the brownies.
- For candy eyes, always check the labels! If you want to make your own, you can use this recipe for DIY edible googly eyes from A Saucy Kitchen. You can also use white chocolate chips with a dab of black icing.
- You can use a hand mixer instead of a stand mixer.
