Halloween Oreo Brownies

September 23, 2016 By Betsy Cohen

Halloween Oreo Brownies are a delish treat for adults and children. Cookies and brownie in every bite and the orange and black color combo is perfect!

Halloween Oreo Brownies


The end of September means it’s time to start focusing on the next big holiday.  No, I do not mean Christmas even though the decorations have already started sneaking into stores.  I am referring to Halloween, one of my favorite days.  Then again, it is filled with lots of sweet treats.

The idea for Halloween Oreo Brownies came to me when saw a bag of orange filled Oreo cookies with Halloween symbols on the cookie part.  I bought a package and then got busy in the kitchen.

During round one of the brownies, I placed whole cookies between the layers of chocolate batter.  I did not care for the ratio of brownie to cookies, as there were too many bites that did not include the sandwich cookie.

The next time around I broke the cookies into quarters, well, most of them.  This method worked so much better because every bite was filled with a combination of brownie and cookie.  I, also, loved the orange and black color contrast.

One note about the deep dark color of my Halloween Oreo Brownies, I used a very deep cocoa powder that is almost black in color.  If yours is a lighter cocoa powder, the taste will still be fantastic but the color will be a bit lighter.
