Step-by-Step Instructions for Monster Mash Brownies
  1. Prepare the Frosting: Split American buttercream frosting into seven portions and tint each with food gel colors. Keep chilled until ready to decorate.

  3. Melt the Chocolate and Butter: Combine dark chocolate and unsalted butter in a bowl and microwave until melted and smooth.
  4. Mix the Ingredients: Stir in granulated sugar, then add eggs. Mix until shiny, then fold in flour and cocoa powder, followed by chocolate chips.
