Spooky and delicious brownies topped with fluffy marshmallow ghosts, perfect for Halloween celebrations.

½ cup unsalted butter (cut into cubes for faster melting. Salted butter works too - just skip the added salt in the recipe)
4 ounce dark chocolate (chopped from a bar (70% cocoa is ideal). Chocolate chips work in a pinch but bars melt smoother)
1 cup granulated sugar (standard white sugar. You can swap half for brown sugar for a deeper, more molasses-like flavor)
2 large eggs (at room temperature. Cold eggs can cause the melted chocolate mixture to seize slightly)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (adds warmth and depth. Imitation vanilla works but pure is noticeably better here)
¾ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (Dutch-process cocoa gives a darker, richer color. Natural cocoa works fine too)
¼ teaspoon salt (skip if using salted butter. Salt balances the sweetness and deepens the chocolate flavor)
½ teaspoon baking powder (just a small amount - enough to give a slight lift without making the brownies cakey)
1 cup marshmallow fluff
32 mini chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Melt butter and dark chocolate together until smooth.
Mix in sugar, eggs, and vanilla until well combined. Sift in flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder; fold into the batter.
Pour batter into a greased baking pan and bake for 25 minutes. Let cool completely.
Spread marshmallow fluff evenly over cooled brownies.
Decorate with mini chocolate chips to resemble spooky eyes or ghosts. Serve and enjoy!

For extra spooky effect, pipe marshmallow fluff into ghost shapes before decorating with chocolate chips.
