1. - Preheat the oven to 325° F. Spray the cavities of the pan with nonstick cooking spray.
2. - Mix the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder together in a mixing bowl.
3. - Mix the butter, eggs, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl; add butter mixture to the bowl with the flour mixture and stir batter until well mixed.
4. - Divide the batter evenly into cavities of the prepared baking pan (an ice cream scoop can be helpful for evenly dividing the batter). Jiggle and tap the pan to spread the batter into the cavities.
5. - Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are brown and the tops are set, 17-20 minutes.
6. - Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire cooling grid before decorating, about 30 minutes.
7. - Use a spatula to carefully remove the brownies from the pan. Using Ready-to-Use Decorating Icing and included icing tips, decorate the tops of the brownies with Halloween themes, for example: Spiderweb with spider: Use the white icing with the writing tip to make a spiderweb pattern. Add a spider to the web using the black icing and the writing tip. Witch hat: Use the black icing with the star tip to make a witch hat shape from small stars. Add a ribbon to the hat using the green icing and the ribbon tip, then add a buckle using the violet icing and the writing tip. Black cat: Use the black icing with the star tip to make a cat shape from small stars. Add two eyes to the cat using the green icing and the writing tip. Tip: Use the writing tip with the black icing to define any of the cat details, like adding little ears. Ghost: Use the white icing with the shell tip to make a ghost shape. Add eyes and a mouth to the ghost using the black icing and the writing tip. Bat: Use the violet icing with the star tip to make a bat shape from small stars. Add two small Candy Eyeball Sprinkles. Tip: Use the writing tip with the violet icing to define any of the bat details, like adding little ears and accentuating the points. Mummy: Add two medium Candy Eyeball Sprinkles to the top of the brownie. Use the white icing with the ribbon tip to make wide stripes across the brownie, overlapping the eyes, to create a mummy.
