Whether you are hosting a Halloween party or you just want to make a fun treat for your family, these spider web brownies will be a hit.

You can start with your favorite brownie recipe or use a box of your favorite brownie mix. You can also make the frosting from scratch or pick up a can of frosting. You will heat the frosting to make it malleable, then put it in a baggy to pipe it on to the top of the brownie squares in a spiral. Drag a toothpick through the frosting to make the spider web.

Place your brownies on a plate and add toy spiders to complete the theme.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
