Added the brownie mix and listed ingredients to a mixing bowl. (Be sure to default to the ingredient amounts listed on box)

Whisk just until all the dry mix is well incorporated with the wet ingredients. The batter will still have smalls lumps and that’s okay.

Lightly coat an 8” square metal baking pan with the non-stick cooking spray or lined with parchment paper. Pour brownie batter into the prepared pan.

Bake according to box directions or until the center of the brownies appear firm. Once they have finished baking allow them to cool completely.

Once cooled, cut the brownies into 12 equal sized rectangles (4 x 3)

Carefully press one candy eye into each brownie on the right side about halfway down, be certain to leave enough space by edges to draw a circle around each eye.

Using the black icing gel, draw a circle around each of the large candy eyes.

Draw marks along the left side from top to bottom to resemble the book seams.

Slightly further in on the brownie create lines vertically or in swirls (your choice) to add character to each brownie spell book. Continue decorating the remaining brownies. Finally, add half circles to the corners above and below the eye and you’re done!
