05 - Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips if using, distributing evenly throughout the batter.
06 - Pour batter into prepared pan, smoothing the surface evenly. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
07 - Allow brownies to cool completely in the pan before removing.
08 - Slice the cooled brownies into squares of desired size.
09 - Pipe a spiral of white icing onto each brownie square, then use a toothpick to drag lines from the center outward to form a spiderweb pattern.
