Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Melt the unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Whisk in the granulated sugar, followed by the eggs one at a time, and then blend in the vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually combine this dry mixture into the wet batter, stirring gently until incorporated.
  3. Pour the batter into a greased 9x13-inch pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs. Let the brownies cool completely.
  4. Melt chocolate chips in 30-second intervals in a microwave-safe bowl. Dip the top of each ice cream cone into the melted chocolate, then sprinkle with Halloween-themed sprinkles and let them dry.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and green food coloring, mixing until smooth. Spread this frosting over the cooled brownies.
  6. Place the upside-down chocolate ice cream cone on each brownie, pressing gently to secure it. Decorate with additional sprinkles.

Notes

Ensure to keep the brownies fudgy by mixing just until combined and allowing them to cool completely before frosting to prevent the icing from melting.
