How to Make Halloween Brookies
Ingredients:
- 1 box store bought brownie mix
- 1 package Pillsbury ghost shaped sugar cookie dough
- 1 package Halloween M&M’s
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350 ℉ (175 ℃).
- Prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions.
- Stir in ¼ cup of M&M’s into the brownie batter for an added crunch and color.
- Pour the brownie batter into a greased 9 x 13 pan and spread it evenly.
- Sprinkle more M&M’s on top of the brownie layer for decoration and extra sweetness.
- Place 15 pieces of Halloween sugar cookie dough evenly on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 28-30 minutes. Check if it’s done by inserting a toothpick; it should come out with just a few crumbs. The edges should be a little crispy.
How to Serve
Once your Halloween Brookies are baked and cooled, cut them into squares for serving. They can be plated nicely and garnished with more Halloween M&M’s or even frostings for a special touch. These treats are great for parties or as a fun dessert for the family.
How to Store
Store any leftover Halloween Brookies in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay fresh for about 3-4 days. If you want them to last longer, you can refrigerate them, but be sure to bring them to room temperature before serving for the best taste.
Tips to Make
- For an extra fudgy brownie texture, add a couple of tablespoons of melted butter to your brownie mix.
- Feel free to mix in other Halloween-themed candies if you like. Crushed candy corn can add a nice touch!
- Make sure not to overbake the brookies to keep them soft and gooey in the middle.
Variation
You can change up the flavor by using different types of cookie dough. Try using chocolate chip or pumpkin spice cookie dough for a twist on the classic recipe.
