4.8 from 84 reviews

Spooky Halloween Brookies combine rich, fudgy brownies with festive ghost-shaped sugar cookies and colorful Halloween M&M’s for a fun and delicious holiday treat perfect for parties and family gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Layer

  • 1 box store-bought brownie mix (plus ingredients required on box, typically eggs, oil, and water)

Cookie Layer

  • 1 package Pillsbury ghost-shaped sugar cookie dough

Topping

  • 1 package Halloween M&M’s

Instructions

  1. Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the longer sides for easy removal. Lightly grease any exposed pan sides to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Brownie Layer: Prepare the brownie mix according to the package directions, typically mixing in eggs, oil, and water. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly to form a uniform layer.
  3. Add Cookie Layer: Break apart or crumble the ghost-shaped sugar cookie dough evenly over the brownie batter layer, ensuring good coverage but leaving some gaps for even baking.
  4. Add Halloween Candies: Sprinkle the Halloween M&M’s evenly over the cookie dough layer to add festive color and sweetness.
  5. Bake: Bake the assembled brookies in the preheated oven for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the edges of the cookie layer are set and golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the brownie layer comes out with moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the pan from the oven and allow the brookies to cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2 to 3 hours. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brookie slab out of the pan, then cut into squares and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.

Notes

  • Ensure the brownie batter is spread evenly for consistent baking.
  • Do not overbake to maintain moist brownie texture.
  • Allow the brookies to cool thoroughly to make cutting easier and prevent crumbling.
  • Can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Customize with other Halloween-themed candies or cookie dough shapes for variety.
