Using a bit of melted candy coating, “glue” a chocolate spider to each brownie.

When I was growing up, we had a restaurant in town called, “Texas Steakhouse”. They had the best Caesar salads and Thomas & I even went to dinner there after he proposed. It has a special place in my heart, however, it closed down a few years ago and we lost some tasty food as well as the Texas Steakhouse Hershey Brownie!

Now, if you don’t have a Texas Steakhouse near you, you might not be familiar with this heavily, rich dessert. The Texas Steakhouse Hershey Brownie, is a huge brownie, served with a melted Hershey bar on top with a scoop (or two if your server was extra nice) of vanilla ice cream.

Since I love making copycat / homemade versions of restaurant favorites, I knew I had to make this one.

Ingredients For A Hershey Brownie:

• 1 box fudge brownie mix (including ingredients to make brownies, look at the back of your box. Normally, you’ll need oil, water and eggs.)
• 1 Hershey Chocolate Bar
• Vanilla Ice Cream

For the brownie, you can use a box mix like I’m using here OR you can use this homemade brownie recipe without the peanut butter and caramel bunnies.

I’m crazy for Halloween desserts and I love to decorate them! I’m not really into super gory type of desserts but I’ll toss a little fake blood onto a dessert once in a while.

Now, vampires are one of my favorite Halloween creepy creatures so thought I’d make a super simple little vampire themed dessert for Halloween this year.

No Cooking or Baking required for this treat!

Ingredients For Vampire Brownie Bites:

• Brownie Bites
• Cherry Pie Filling
• Gummy Vampire Fangs

Ingredient amounts and entire recipe directions in recipe card below with print option!

Can I Use Homemade Cherry Pie Filling?

I haven’t made this recipe using homemade cherry pie filling but it should work! You may just want to add some red food coloring to really make it pop like the canned cherry pie filling.

I Can’t Find Gummy Vampire Fangs! Help!

No worries! I found these at Target, but if you can’t find any you can always order some online or just those plastic vampire fangs for decoration that you can find almost anywhere around Halloween.

Can I Use Homemade Brownie Bites?

Of course! You can make homemade brownies or boxes brownies and bake them in a mini muffin pan to create your own brownies bites at home.

However, to make this recipe super easy, we just used the little bags of brownie bites from the grocery store.
