Ingredients: 3/4 cup butter, cubed; 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped; 2 cups sugar; 3 large eggs, lightly beaten; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; 1 cup all-purpose flour; 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts; 1 jar (7 ounces) marshmallow creme; 1 ounce semisweet chocolate

To decorate these moist brownies for Halloween, I drizzle a chocolate spiderweb on their white icing. They're so delicious and chocolaty...you'll find yourself making them for gatherings throughout the year. —Sandy Pichon, Slidell, Louisiana

Ingredients

3/4 cup butter, cubed
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
2 cups sugar
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
1 jar (7 ounces) marshmallow creme
1 ounce semisweet chocolate

Directions

In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt butter and unsweetened chocolate; stir until smooth. Remove from the heat; stir in sugar. Cool for 10 minutes. Whisk in eggs and vanilla. Stir in flour and nuts. Pour into a greased foil-lined 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan.
Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (do not overbake). Immediately drop marshmallow cream by spoonfuls over hot brownies; spread evenly. Cool on a wire rack.
Lift out of the pan; remove foil. For web decoration, melt semisweet chocolate in a microwave; stir until smooth. Transfer to a small resealable plastic bag. Cut a small hole in one corner of the bag; drizzle chocolate over top in a spiderweb design. Let set before cutting into bars.

I have made this recipe several times, not only for Halloween. For Easter I sprinkle the top with green coconut & jelly beans, today I am making them for a Christmas party.
