Step-by-Step Instructions for Wicked Witch Hat Brownies
  1. Begin by melting the unsalted butter in a saucepan over low heat until fully liquid, then allow it to cool slightly.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter with the granulated sugar, stirring until smooth and creamy.
  3. Next, beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
  5. Gradually mix this dry blend into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
  6. Pour the brownie batter into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan, spreading it evenly.
  7. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 25-30 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  8. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  9. Enhance your chocolate ice cream cones by dipping the tops in melted chocolate and then sprinkling with Halloween-themed sprinkles if desired.
  10. In a mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and green food coloring to create a vibrant frosting.
  11. Once the brownies are completely cool, spread the frosting evenly over the top.
  12. Place an upside-down ice cream cone onto each frosted brownie, creating the whimsical witch hats.
  13. Sprinkle additional Halloween-themed sprinkles on top for extra festive flair.
