Make a big sheet pan of brownies for Halloween: Ghost Brownies.
It’s that time of year…when things barely get spooky around here. This DIY creepy mirror for Halloween is the most spooky thing we’ve shared, and the rest is more like Casper the Friendly Ghost. We recently shared this recipe for sheet pan brownies, and I thought it would be fun to make a batch for Halloween. These ghost brownies and not only super festive for your Halloween party, they’re great for feeding a crowd.
Here’s the trick to making the ghosts…you need Bright White Candy Melts. The bright white makes all the difference. The contrast with the chocolate ganache looks so good together. Don’t forget the edible candy eyes…they help to make cute ghosts too.

Pretty easy to make a big batch from scratch. If you need the chocolate ganache to set quicker, you can put the sheet pan in the freezer to help harden the top layer.
That’s it! Now go make brownies!
