Let’s Create This Together!

Let’s get baking! Follow these simple steps to create your own batch of delicious Halloween Oreo Brownie Bars.

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan. This is important to prevent sticking!
  2. In a large bowl, combine the brownie mix, vegetable oil, water, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  3. Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan. Spread evenly.
  4. Arrange 15 of the Halloween Oreo cookies over the brownie batter. Gently press them into the batter. This is where the magic starts!
  5. Pour the remaining brownie batter over the Oreos. Spread evenly to cover the cookies.
  6. Sprinkle the remaining 5 crushed Oreos and chocolate chips over the top. This adds extra flavor and texture.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. Don’t overbake, or they will be dry.
  8. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars. This helps them set properly.
  9. Sprinkle with Halloween sprinkles for a festive touch. Now they’re ready to enjoy!
  10. Cut into bars and serve. Watch them disappear!
