Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine fudge brownie mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Stir gently until just combined.
  3. Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with brownie batter. Bake for 12-15 minutes until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  4. Create a well in the center of each brownie using the back of a spoon while they are still hot.
  5. Allow the brownie bites to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. Beat softened butter until fluffy, then gradually incorporate powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  7. Mix in green gel food coloring until desired color is achieved.
  8. Frost each cooled brownie with green frosting and top with candy eyeballs.
  9. Allow decorated brownies to set for about 30 minutes before serving.
