Steps to Make It
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan with butter or line it with parchment paper. This will help the brownies come out easily after baking.
- In a large bowl, mix the melted butter and granulated sugar until well combined. The mixture should look shiny and smooth, which means you’re on the right track.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract. You want a rich, glossy batter that smells heavenly.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. This helps to evenly distribute the dry ingredients, ensuring your brownies rise perfectly.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be thick and fudgy.
- Fold in the chopped Halloween Oreos and chocolate chips if you’re using them. You’ll see those lovely Oreo pieces throughout the batter, which adds a fun touch.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Once baked, let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing. This helps them set up nicely and makes for cleaner cuts.
- Serve these spooky brownie treats at your Halloween gathering, and watch them disappear quickly. They’re best enjoyed with a glass of milk!
Make It Perfect
- For a fun twist, add some orange or purple sprinkles on top before baking.
- If you don’t have Halloween Oreos, regular Oreos work just as well.
- Make sure to let the brownies cool completely before cutting for the best texture.
Mix It Up
- Try adding nuts for a crunchy texture.
- Substitute the chocolate chips with white chocolate for a different flavor.
- Use gluten-free flour to make these brownies gluten-free.
Perfect Partners
- Serve with vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert.
- Pair with a spooky-themed drink like a Halloween punch.
