Frequently Asked Questions

My brownie bites are sticking to the muffin tin! Help!

Oh dear, that's a classic baking blunder! Next time, make sure to grease your mini muffin tin really well with cooking spray or line it with mini muffin liners. If they're already stuck, try gently loosening the edges with a thin knife or spatula.

Letting them cool completely can also help, as the brownie might shrink slightly.

Can I make these Spooky Spiderweb Brownie Bites ahead of time?

Absolutely! These Halloween treats are perfect for making in advance. You can bake the brownie bites up to 2 days ahead of time and store them in an airtight container at room temperature.

Decorate them with the white chocolate spiderwebs a few hours before serving to keep the chocolate looking its best, or even decorate the day of.

My white chocolate keeps seizing up when I try to melt it. What am I doing wrong?

Ah, the dreaded seized chocolate! White chocolate is notoriously fussy. Make sure you're melting it over very low heat or in the microwave in short bursts (30 seconds max), stirring in between. A tiny bit of vegetable shortening can help it melt more smoothly, like adding a dash of milk to tea to prevent curdling.

Also, make sure your bowl and utensils are completely dry, as even a drop of water can cause it to seize.

I don't have white chocolate. Can I use something else for the spiderwebs on these halloween treats?

No worries, there are alternatives! You could use a cream cheese frosting thinned with a little milk for a similar white drizzle. Melted dark chocolate would also work well, creating a striking contrast with the brownies.

Or, for a completely different look, try a caramel drizzle or even a simple powdered sugar dusting. Get creative, darling!

Are there any healthier ways to make these Halloween treats?

You can certainly make some healthier swaps! Look for a lower sugar brownie mix or make your brownies from scratch using whole wheat flour and less sugar. You can also use a sugar-free white chocolate alternative or skip the white chocolate altogether and decorate with fresh berries or a light dusting of cocoa powder.

Every little bit helps, right?

How should I store leftover brownie bites?

If you somehow manage to have leftover Spooky Spiderweb Brownie Bites (unlikely, I know!), store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. They can also be frozen for longer storage just thaw them completely before serving.

Though, let's be honest, they're best enjoyed fresh, like a good episode of "Stranger Things"!
