Ingredients You’ll Need

1 box Brownie Mix + Ingredients on Box: Use your favorite boxed brownie mix for convenience. Be sure to follow the directions on the box regarding ingredients like eggs and oil—these are crucial for achieving the perfect texture.
18-20 Halloween Oreos: These festive cookies not only add flavor but also a fun touch to the brownies. If you can’t find Halloween Oreos, regular Oreos work just as well. You can even use a mix of both for an interesting flavor variation.

How to Make Halloween Oreo Brownies

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven as directed on the brownie box for an 8 x 8 pan. Don’t forget to generously spray the pan with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
Prepare the Brownie Batter: Following the instructions on the box, mix together the brownie ingredients until smooth and fully combined. Ensure there are no lumps for the best texture.
Incorporate the Crushed Oreos: Take 10 of the Halloween Oreos and crush them into small pieces. Gently fold these crushed cookies into your brownie batter, adding both flavor and a bit of texture to the mix.
Spread and Decorate: Pour the brownie batter into your prepared pan and spread it out evenly. Now, here’s where the fun begins—randomly place 4-5 whole Halloween Oreos on top, and crumble a few more to sprinkle over the exposed areas of the batter. This will add extra crunch and make for an eye-catching presentation.
Bake: Place your pan in the preheated oven and bake according to the time suggested on the brownie box, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Cool and Slice: Once out of the oven, let your brownies cool in the pan for a bit before transferring them to a wire rack. This allows them to set and makes slicing easier.
Serve: Cut into squares and serve proudly. Feel free to garnish with a sprinkle of Halloween-themed sprinkles or additional cookie crumbs if desired!

Storing & Reheating

To keep your Halloween Oreo Brownies fresh, store them at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days. If you want to enjoy them later, transfer the brownies to the refrigerator where they can last up to a week. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to 3 months. Just wrap slices tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil for extra protection. When you’re ready to enjoy again, simply thaw at room temperature or pop them in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds to restore their chewy texture.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Avoid Overmixing: To keep your brownies wonderfully fudgy, stir the batter just until combined.
Experiment with Add-ins: Feel free to add nuts, chocolate chips, or peanut butter if you want to personalize your brownies further.
Cool Completely: For cleaner cuts, ensure your brownies are completely cool before slicing. This helps them hold their shape better.
Keep an Eye on Baking Time: Ovens can vary; start checking your brownies a few minutes before the recommended baking time to prevent them from overbaking.

These Halloween Oreo Brownies are not just easy to make but are also a delightful way to celebrate the spooky season with something sweet. Whether you’re hosting a get-together, looking for a fun kitchen activity with the kids, or simply indulging in a seasonal treat, these brownies are a fantastic choice.
