I always love seeing all the spooky and fun Halloween treats that pop up this time of year. And as you can imagine, I’m not the type to ever turn down an opportunity to make a holiday appropriate baked good. And while I love baking, I am no whiz with the piping bag. So, I’m always looking for super simple recipes that look good but don’t require ample artistic abilities.
So for Halloween this year, I came up with a healthier spin on ghost brownies! The base is a super moist and easy brownie that is paleo friendly (gluten/grain/dairy free) and topped with simple meringue ghosts (made from unrefined cane sugar) to make a simple but sinfully delicious Halloween treat. Find the ghost meringue recipe here.
