Pour batter into a lined baking tin and bake according to package instructions. Remove from oven and allow to cool fully in the pan.

Chill the cooled brownies in the refrigerator until firm. Cut into evenly sized rectangles or squares to form 'heads' for the monster design.

# Helpful Notes:

For best results, ensure brownies are completely cool before decorating, as warm brownies may cause the frosting to melt.
02 -
Customise facial decorations by varying the placement of black gel or adding extra candy features.
