If you’re looking to make ultimate halloween brownies you’ll definitely want to get your hands on this recipe! They start out with my all time favorite brownie mix, stuffed with pumpkin spice oreos – hello! Then topped with vanilla buttercream, a splatter of chocolate, sprinkles and other fun halloween candies.
I’ve seen black and orange oreos online which would be perfect but couldn’t find them anywhere so these pumpkin spice ones did the trick. If you can’t find either, normal oreos are also good. I used them in my loaded brownies. Delicious!
Just pour 2/3 of the brownie mix in the baking dish and place them on top. Spoon the rest of the batter over top and if you can’t get it to fully cover the cookies, just flip them over.
I don’t particularly love a lot of candy on my brownies so I kept the amount to a minimum but you can decorate however you like. If the kids had their way you wouldn’t be able to see the orange frosting.
Once they were all frosted, I used some melted chocolate chips in a plastic sandwich bag to swirl over top. There were a few times it glopped out but nothing a smartie won’t hide!
- 1 Brownie mix, prepared as directed.
- 12 pumpkin spice oreos,
- ½ cup butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp milk
- ¼ tsp vanilla
- Orange food coloring
- ¼ cup chocolate chips, melted and piped over top and assorted halloween sprinkles and candies
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees and line an 8 inch pan with foil or parchment. Coat lightly with cooking spray.
- Prepare the brownie mix. I use Ghirardeli which calls for ⅓ cup water, ⅓ cup oil and 1 egg.
- Pour ⅔ of the batter in the pan and place 12 oreos over top. Spoon the rest of the batter over top and bake for 40 minutes.
- Cool completely before frosting.
- For the frosting beat the butter for a few minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl then slowly add the powdered sugar, milk, vanilla and food coloring.
- Frost the brownies and decorate as desired.
