Don’t they look yummy? The worms are what take this recipe from an everyday treat to a spooky fun Halloween dessert. The great thing about this recipe, though, is that the worms are on top instead of mixed in. If anyone doesn’t love the idea of eating sour candy in their chocolate brownies, they can simply take it out.
