No matter what your opinions are about Halloween , you can't deny that it's the perfect occasion to indulge in a sweet treat or two. This time of year is synonymous with all kinds of chocolate, sweets, toffee apples and pretty much anything else that'll give you a sugar rush like nothing else. But if you're keen to try something different this Halloween, instead of stocking up on sweets from your local supermarket , why not try your hand at some home baking? A good brownie always goes down a treat, and they're so simple to make at home too.

And after coming across a viral spooky recipe with over 10 million views on TikTok , I had to give it a go - and I was surprised at how delicious they turned out. I spotted this recipe for spooky ghost brownies in a video by Matilda Bakes , which was posted last year and looked simply too cute - and delicious - not to recreate. A simple brownie base is topped with melted milk chocolate, then white chocolate in the shape of little ghosts swirling around.

I don't bake at home very often so I was initially concerned about how they'd turn out - especially the artistic topping, which took far longer to do than I'd care to admit. But they definitely went down a treat with my family, and they had that classic fudgy brownie centre surrounded by a gorgeous crispy edge that's just so moreish. Here's everything that you need to whip up this amazing treat before Halloween, and how I got on while making it.

It's worth noting that this recipe uses cup m.
