Oreo Layered Halloween Brownies 🍫👻

Introduction

Halloween is all about treats, and nothing says “spooky delicious” like these Oreo Layered Halloween Brownies. Rich, fudgy brownies form the base, a layer of whole Oreo cookies adds crunch and creaminess, and an optional festive topping brings the spooky vibe to life. Perfect for Halloween parties, trick-or-treat gatherings, or just indulging in seasonal fun, these brownies combine two classic desserts—brownies and Oreos—into one unforgettable, playful treat.

Ingredients

For the Brownie Layer

  • 1 cup (2 sticks / 226 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups (400 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (220 g) packed brown sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (100 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

For the Oreo Layer

  • 18–24 Oreo cookies (whole or slightly broken)

Optional Halloween Topping

  • 1 cup chocolate chips or white chocolate chips
  • Halloween sprinkles, candy eyeballs, or colored icing for decoration

Instructions & Methods

Step 1: Prep

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.

Step 2: Make the Brownie Batter

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
  2. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla extract.
  3. Sift together flour, cocoa powder, and salt, then fold gently into wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 3: Layer the Brownies & Oreos

  • Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  • Arrange Oreos in a single layer over the batter.
  • Pour remaining brownie batter gently over the Oreos, covering them completely.

Step 4: Bake

  • Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the brownie layer (avoiding Oreos) comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
  • Allow brownies to cool completely in the pan before decorating.

Step 5: Optional Halloween Topping

  • Melt chocolate or white chocolate chips and drizzle over cooled brownies.
  • Decorate with Halloween sprinkles, candy eyes, or colored icing for a spooky finish.

History & Formation

Brownies originated in the U.S. in the early 20th century, becoming a staple for chocolate lovers everywhere. Oreos, introduced in 1912, are America’s most famous sandwich cookie. Combining these two treats became popular as a dessert mash-up in the 2000s, giving birth to the Oreo-stuffed or layered brownie craze.

The formation is simple yet genius: fudgy brownie layers sandwich whole Oreos, creating a textural contrast—chewy, soft brownie meets crunchy, creamy cookie. Baking evenly ensures the Oreos don’t get too soggy while the brownies stay moist.

Conclusion

Oreo Layered Halloween Brownies are the ultimate festive indulgence. They’re rich, chocolatey, playful, and perfect for both kids and adults. Each bite surprises you with Oreo crunch inside velvety brownies, and the optional Halloween decorations make them as fun to look at as they are to eat. These brownies are a must-make for anyone looking to impress at a Halloween gathering or satisfy a sweet tooth with a seasonal twist.

For Chocolate & Oreo Lovers

  • Extra Fudgy: Reduce flour to 3/4 cup for a more gooey brownie.
  • Extra Oreo: Add a second layer of Oreos or crush some Oreos into the batter for an extra cookie kick.
  • Chocolate Lovers: Mix 1/2 cup chocolate chips into the brownie batter.

Methods with Lovers

  1. Classic Lovers: Follow the recipe exactly for balanced brownie-Oreo texture.
  2. Gooey Lovers: Bake 3–5 minutes less for ultra-moist brownies.
  3. Festive Lovers: Top with colored icing, sprinkles, or edible glitter to make Halloween-themed designs.
  4. Crunch Lovers: Sprinkle crushed Oreos on top after baking for added texture.

đź’ˇ Tip: Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. They can also be cut into squares and frozen for a later treat.
