Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Base
- 1 box store-bought brownie mix
- Ingredients required as per brownie mix package (usually eggs, oil, water)
- ¼ cup Halloween M&M’s (mixed into brownie batter)
Topping
- 1 package Pillsbury ghost-shaped sugar cookie dough (about 15 pieces)
- Additional Halloween M&M’s for topping (about ½ cup)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 ℉ (175 ℃) to ensure it is hot and ready for baking the brookies evenly.
- Prepare Brownie Batter: Make the brownie mix according to the instructions on the package, which generally involves mixing the brownie mix with eggs, oil, and water until smooth. Stir in ¼ cup of Halloween M&M’s gently into the batter to incorporate some crunchy candy pieces inside the brownies.
- Spread Brownie Batter: Grease a 9 x 13 inch baking pan lightly with butter or non-stick spray. Pour the prepared brownie batter into the pan and spread it evenly to a smooth layer.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle additional Halloween M&M’s evenly over the brownie batter. Then, place 15 pieces of the Pillsbury ghost-shaped sugar cookie dough spaced evenly across the top. This will ensure the cookie dough bakes on top of the brownies.
- Bake the Brookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 28 to 30 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the brownie; it should come out with only a few moist crumbs. The edges should be slightly crispy, ensuring the brownies are cooked but still moist inside.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the brookies to cool in the pan before slicing into squares. This cooling time helps the layers set, making it easier to cut and serve your festive Halloween treat.
Notes
- Use a dark or light-colored baking pan for different baking times; dark pans may bake faster.
- Do not overbake to keep the brownies fudgy and the cookie dough soft.
- For extra flavor, you can add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the brownie batter.
- Store leftover brookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Feel free to swap Halloween M&M’s with regular candies if unavailable.
