Description
Halloween Brookies combine the rich, fudgy texture of brownies with the sweet, soft delight of ghost-shaped sugar cookies and festive Halloween M&M’s for a fun, seasonal treat perfect for parties and gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Layer
- 1 box store-bought brownie mix
- Ingredients needed as per brownie mix package (usually eggs, oil, and water)
- ¼ cup Halloween M&M’s
Cookie Layer & Topping
- 1 package Pillsbury ghost-shaped sugar cookie dough
- Additional Halloween M&M’s for sprinkling on top
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 ℉ (175 ℃) to prepare for baking your Halloween brookies.
- Prepare Brownie Mix: Follow the instructions on the store-bought brownie mix package to prepare the batter. Once mixed, gently fold in ¼ cup of Halloween M&M’s to add festive color and texture within the brownies.
- Spread Batter: Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking pan thoroughly to prevent sticking. Pour the prepared brownie batter evenly into the pan and spread it out with a spatula for an even layer.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle a generous amount of Halloween M&M’s evenly over the brownie batter. Then, place 15 pieces of the ghost-shaped sugar cookie dough evenly on top, distributing them to ensure each brookie will have a ghost cookie on it.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 28-30 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out with just a few moist crumbs but no wet batter. The edges should be slightly crispy to achieve the perfect texture contrast.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the brookies to cool in the pan before cutting into squares. This helps them set and prevents crumbling.

- Follow the baking instructions on your brownie mix package closely for best results; if necessary, bake a little longer to ensure cookie dough is fully cooked.
- Greasing the pan well is important to prevent sticking due to the mixed textures of brownies and cookies.
