My favorite parts of Halloween are witches and witch decor. I just love witch apothecary decor and spell books. They are just so fun! Here is a fun spell book prop that is perfect for your next Halloween party tablescape.
These are so cute and so fun to decorate. And, if it’s a kids’ Halloween party, they can easily decorate their own Hocus Pocus Spell Book Brownie as an activity. My kids love eating things they decorate themselves.
You can take your time and make your own from scratch brownies. Or…you can just get a couple of boxes of brownie mix and save time so you can get to decorating these fun little treats. I usually chose the fudge brownie box mix because it tastes pretty dang good, and I don’t have to mess the kitchen up with a ton of ingredients when I have a party in a few hours.

How to make Hocus Pocus Spell Book Brownies
If you’re making these for the kids to decorate, I’d prep ahead and have the brownies cut and set on paper plates ready to go. Get a few tubes of ready made black cake frosting with tips already added or black cookie frosting and have them ready to use next to a bowl of the eyes.
I found 3/4-inch eyes were the easiest to find. But, you can also order 1-inch eyes on amazon in different styles, but they were more expensive.
Wait until they are completely cold or you’ll get a frosting mess from the heat. I found popping the brownies in the freezer for 15 minutes or so made them easier to cut into rectangles without much stickiness. Plus, decorating them cold makes the frosting dry very quick.
This is the way we did it, but the kids can totally have fun designing their own Hocus Pocus Spell Book Brownies.
We began with the eye, and then added a circle around it. Next, we piped a zigzag down one side of brownie and then a straight line down next to it. Then, we piped stitches across the line and then finished off with some half circle corners.
Allow the icing to dry for an hour before serving.
