    Whisk butter and sugar in a medium bowl until blended. Whisk in eggs, one t a time. Stir in 1-1/2 cups flour and the baking powder until just combined.
    Remove 1 cup batter, add to chocolate and stir until blended. Spread evenly in lined pan. Refrigerate 15 minutes or until slightly firm.
    Meanwhile, stir orange extract and 1/4 cup flour into remaining batter, tint yellow. Divide batter in half. Tint half orange using a little red food color.
    Spoon yellow batter onto chocolate layer; gently spread even. Refrigerate 30 minutes, until slightly firm to the touch.
    Spoon on orange batter; spread even. Bake 40-45 minutes until a wooden pcik inserted in center comes out clean. Cool pan on wire rack 10 minutes; then invert on rack to cool completely; remove foil. Cut in 25 squares.
    To make spiderwebs: Melt candy melts as package directs. Scrape into a sturdy 1-quart ziptop bag. Cut tip off one corner and pipe a quarter of a spiderweb on each brownie. The web will have 4 spokes, two of which follow 2 sides of the brownie and meet in the corner. The other two are spaced inbetween. There will be room for a couple of rows of web lines connecting the 4 spokes.
