Yield: 16 servings
Halloween Oreo brownies are a delicious way to celebrate Halloween! These fudgy chocolate brownies are studded with Halloween Oreo cookies, drizzled with chocolate ganache, and decorated with festive Halloween sprinkles.
Equipment
- Electric hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment
Ingredients
Halloween Oreo Brownies
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 ¼ cups dark or semisweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 3 eggs room temperature
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- ½ cup dark cocoa powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 cups Halloween Oreo cookies roughly chopped
- Halloween Oreo cookies optional - broken and pressed into the brownie batter before baking
Chocolate Ganache
- ¼ cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
Decoration
- 2 tbsp Halloween sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Prepare a 9x13 baking pan with cooking spray and parchment paper. The parchment paper should go up the sides of the pan, so the brownies are easily lifted out of the pan.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine unsalted butter and semisweet chocolate chips. Microwave in 30 second intervals, mixing in between, until the chocolate and butter are melted and fully combined.
- In a large mixing bowl or bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Using an electric hand mixer, mix on low speed until the ingredients combine and then turn the mixer to high speed and whip for 2 to 3 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Slowly drizzle in the chocolate mixture, mixing on low speed until the chocolate is fully incorporated with the egg mixture.
- Add in all-purpose flour, dark cocoa powder, and salt. Mix on low speed until the dry ingredients are fully incorporated with the wet ingredients. Do not overmix. Use a spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl to ensure that all the ingredients are well combined.
- Fold in chopped Halloween Oreo cookies until they are well dispersed throughout the brownie batter.
- Pour the brownie batter into your prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Press additional broken Oreo cookies into the top of the brownie batter, if desired.
- Bake for approximately 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the brownies comes out with wet crumbs and not batter.
- Cool the brownies in the pan for 10 minutes. Remove the brownies from the pan by lifting on the parchment paper and transfer to a wire rack to cool to room temperature.
Chocolate Ganache
- In a microwave safe bowl, combine semisweet chocolate chips and heavy cream.
- Microwave for 30 seconds. Remove from microwave and stir.
- Microwave on 15 second intervals, stirring in between until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
Decorate the Brownies
- Drizzle the chocolate ganache over the top of the brownies and decorate with Halloween sprinkles.
