I used a plastic spider for the spider and it looked so cool on the buffet table. Everyone tasted and got all kinds of great comments on how good the brownies were! I added nuts in ours, because at our house, a brownie is naked without nuts!

Made this for Halloween last year. It was a hit with the kids. Very sweet, but that is what the kiddos were wanting, so it certainally was eaten up fast! I loved how easy it was to decorate to match the halloween theme. Thanks!
