Description
Oreo Layered Halloween Brownies are a delicious and festive treat perfect for Halloween celebrations, featuring layers of rich brownie, cream cheese, and crushed Oreo cookies.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies (about 10 cookies)
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- ½ cup Halloween-themed sprinkles
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the crushed Oreo cookies.
- Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
- In another bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the brownie layer in the pan.
- Pour the remaining brownie batter on top and gently spread it to cover the cream cheese layer.
- Sprinkle mini marshmallows and Halloween-themed sprinkles over the top of the brownies.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes before cutting into squares. For best results, chill in the refrigerator for an hour before serving.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, consider adding a layer of chocolate ganache on top after the brownies have cooled.
- You can substitute the Oreo cookies with any other sandwich cookie for a different taste.
