- Cool Completely: Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before frosting. This is crucial for avoiding a melty mess!

- Cut and Serve: Cut the brownies into squares and serve. Enjoy your spooky Frankenstein Brownies!
Notes
Feel free to customize the decorations with your favorite candies. Using parchment paper to line the pan helps remove brownies easily. Don't overbake to keep them fudgy. Chill frosting if too soft. Try vegan or gluten-free mixes for dietary variations.
