What Makes These Halloween Oreo Brownies So Special?

These aren’t just your average brownies. What sets them apart is the festive flair and the playful use of Halloween Oreos that feature orange cream and spooky designs. The rich, fudgy chocolate base creates the perfect canvas for Halloween fun, and the added crunch and creaminess from the Oreos bring a whole new level of texture and flavor.

They’re visually exciting, especially when topped with candy eyes and Halloween sprinkles, and are a big hit for all ages. If you’re planning a full spooky spread, you can serve them alongside Halloween Brownies or even the adorably creepy Cockroach Cupcakes for a complete dessert table.

Ingredients for Spooky Oreo Brownies

Here’s everything you need to create these haunted treats. These amounts are from the original recipe and are perfect for a standard 8×8 pan.

Dry Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour (120g)
• ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (75g)
• ¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsalted butter (226g), melted
• 1¼ cups granulated sugar (250g)
• ½ cup brown sugar, packed (100g)
• 3 large eggs
• 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract

Add-ins and Toppings:

• 12 Halloween Oreos, roughly chopped
• Halloween sprinkles
• Candy eyeballs

These brownies come together in minutes and bake into a chewy, fudgy masterpiece that screams Halloween spirit. They also pair well with Pumpkin Cheesecake Cookies for a creamy contrast on the dessert table.

Kitchen Equipment You’ll Need

Before baking, make sure you have the right tools on hand:

• Mixing bowls
• Whisk
• Spatula
• 8×8-inch baking pan
• Parchment paper
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Cooling rack
• Knife for slicing

Keeping your tools ready helps you stay organized and ensures your Halloween Oreo Stuffed Brownies come out just right.

How to Make Spooky Oreo Brownies: Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang to lift the brownies easily.
2. Mix the dry ingredients in a medium bowl: whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. Combine the wet ingredients in a large bowl: whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each, then stir in vanilla extract.
4. Fold in the dry ingredients until just combined. Don’t overmix—the batter should be thick and glossy.
5. Add the Halloween Oreos, folding in most of the chopped cookies. Reserve a few pieces for decorating the top.
6. Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan. Smooth the top, then press in the remaining Oreos, sprinkles, and candy eyes.
7. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
8. Cool completely before slicing into bars. Serve them at room temperature for the best texture.

Baking Tips and Common Mistakes to Avoid

To get perfect results every time, avoid these common baking pitfalls:

• Don’t overbake. Your brownies should be set but fudgy. Pull them out when a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs, not a clean tip.
• Don’t skip the parchment paper. It makes removing and slicing the brownies easier.
• Don’t overmix. Stirring too much can make brownies tough instead of chewy.
