1. Preheat the oven to 350° F. Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Melt the butter and allow it to cool slightly. 

2. Briefly whisk the eggs, melted butter, and coffee together, then add the brownie mix and stir just until all the dry mix is incorporated. Note: Be careful to not overmix the eggs or batter—this may increase the risk of your brownies cracking and your web not looking smooth.  

3. Spread the brownie batter evenly in the prepared baking dish. Tap the bottom of the pan several times to further smooth it out. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the center is no longer jiggly and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few wet crumbs. 

4. Allow the brownies to cool completely.

5. Meanwhile, make the frosting by combining the powdered sugar and 1 ½ teaspoons of milk in a small dish and thoroughly stirring until the mixture is smooth. If it seems too thick, add the remaining ½ teaspoon of milk. 

6. Transfer the frosting to a piping bag or a plastic baggie. Cut the tip off your piping bag or one corner off your baggie so there is a small hole.

7. Slowly pipe a spider web onto the cooled brownies. You can start it in a corner or make a round one in the center. Look online for inspiration if you’re unsure. Allow the frosting to firm up before serving, about 2 hours.
