INGREDIENTS
- 1 Brownie Mix: Forms your fudgy foundation with deep chocolate goodness.
- 2 eggs: Works as the glue for your mixture while adding a richer texture.
- 1/3 cup oil: Gives your brownies that can't-resist softness.
- 1/3 cup milk: Makes everything wetter and helps your batter mix smoothly.
- 1 Package of Oreo's (with orange filling): Brings the Halloween spirit and that satisfying cookie crunch.
- 1 can of Milk chocolate frosting: Tops everything off with sweet, creamy chocolate goodness.
- 1 can of White or Vanilla frosting: Becomes your bright orange middle layer.
- Orange food coloring gel: Turns your vanilla frosting into a Halloween showstopper.
INSTRUCTIONS
- Step 1:
- Heat your oven to 350°F and put parchment paper in a 9x9 inch baking dish.
- Step 2:
- Grab your stand mixer and throw in the Brownie mix, eggs, oil, and milk. Mix with the whisk on medium until everything's smooth.
- Step 3:
- Pour your brownie goop into the lined pan, making it flat. Then place Oreos all over the top so they cover everything.
- Step 4:
- Stick the pan in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes. You'll know they're done when you poke a toothpick in and it comes out clean. Let them cool completely right in the pan.
- Step 5:
- While cooling happens, make your orange frosting. Mix the white/vanilla frosting with about 10 Oreo centers (the orange part). Add a teaspoon of orange gel coloring and stir until you've got a bright pumpkin shade.
- Step 6:
- Once brownies aren't warm anymore, spread your orange frosting all over. Stick the pan in the fridge for about 30 minutes to firm up.
- Step 7:
- Take your chilled brownies out and cover the orange layer with milk chocolate frosting. Crush leftover Oreos and sprinkle the pieces on top.
- Step 8:
- Cut them into 3x2 inch squares and dig in right away. Enjoy all those yummy, sticky layers!
Serving and Storage Tips
- These taste amazing when they're a bit cold - it keeps the frosting layers from getting messy, but room temp works too if you like them softer.
- Want to impress your guests? Cut them tiny and arrange them on a spooky Halloween plate.
- Got leftovers? Pop them in an airtight container in your fridge for up to 3 days. You can even freeze them for up to 2 months - just let them thaw in the fridge before eating.
Tips from Well-Known Chefs
- Duff Goldman always uses parchment paper so you can just lift the whole thing out without making a mess.
- Christina Tosi says to chill your brownies before cutting - you'll get cleaner edges that way.
VARIATIONS
- Try using the peanut butter Oreos or smear some peanut butter between your brownie base and cookie layer.
- Want them super melty? Toss chocolate chips into your brownie mix before baking.
- You can change the frosting colors completely - try red and green for Christmas time instead.
