Seriously, I’ve been tinkering with this recipe for weeks, trying to get the perfect balance of fudgy brownie, creamy Oreo, and that undeniable Halloween flair. The first batch? Good, but not Cuba Queen good, you know? Then, BAM! I swapped out the regular chocolate for a dark cocoa powder…Game. Changer. The depth of flavor is insane! The intense chocolate pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the Oreos, and the festive sprinkles? Pure magic.

These Halloween Oreo Brownie Bars aren’t just another dessert; they’re a statement. They scream, “I’m here to party, and I brought the flavor!” This recipe is all about embracing bold choices and turning ordinary moments into unforgettable celebrations.

So, ditch the boring candy corn and let’s get baking! Get ready to turn your kitchen into a Halloween flavor lab – you are going to be obsessed with my Halloween Oreo Brownie Bars. Let’s go!

INGREDIENTS You Need for This:

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted: This is the base of our fudgy dreams! Don’t even THINK about substituting with margarine. Go for the real deal; it makes all the difference.
2 cups granulated sugar: Sweetness is key, but it also contributes to that chewy texture we all crave in a brownie.
1 cup dark cocoa powder: Here’s the game-changer! Using dark cocoa powder instead of regular cocoa powder is the secret to intensely chocolatey Halloween Oreo Brownie Bars. Trust me on this one.
4 large eggs: These bind everything together and add richness. Use room-temperature eggs for the best results!
1 tablespoon vanilla extract: Don’t skimp on the vanilla! It rounds out the flavors and adds a touch of warmth.
1 cup all-purpose flour: Just enough to give the brownies structure, but not so much that they become cakey.
½ teaspoon salt: Salt enhances the sweetness and balances the chocolate.
1 package (about 30) Halloween Oreo cookies: The star of the show! You can use any variety of Oreo you like, but the Halloween ones are extra festive.
½ cup Halloween sprinkles: Because, why not?! These add a pop of color and fun to our Halloween Oreo Brownie Bars.

I get my dark cocoa powder from a local spice shop – they have the freshest, most fragrant stuff. But you can find good quality dark cocoa powder at most grocery stores.

And a quick tip: if you’re feeling extra fancy, splurge on some high-quality vanilla extract. It makes a noticeable difference in the flavor of the Halloween Oreo Brownie Bars! This ingredient list is SHORT but mighty! And here’s the Halloween Oreo Brownie Bars game-changer that will blow your mind…

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS:

Alright, flavor adventurers, let’s get this Halloween Oreo Brownie Bars party started! Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan. I like to line mine with parchment paper, too, for easy removal.
In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until smooth. Now, this is where most people mess up their Halloween Oreo Brownie Bars – but not you! Make sure the butter isn’t too hot; otherwise, it might cook the eggs when you add them.
Add the dark cocoa powder and whisk until well combined. The mixture should be thick and chocolatey. Can you smell that? Pure bliss.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. Don’t stress – your Halloween Oreo Brownie Bars is going to be incredible. Pro tip for Halloween Oreo Brownie Bars perfection: make sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. This creates a smooth, even batter.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix! Overmixing will result in tough brownies.
Roughly chop about half of the Halloween Oreo cookies and stir them into the brownie batter. Leave the other half of the cookies whole or halved for topping. This is where your Halloween Oreo Brownie Bars transforms into pure magic!
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Arrange the remaining Oreo cookies on top of the brownie batter, pressing them in gently. This step takes exactly 2 minutes in my kitchen, and it’s oh-so-satisfying.
Sprinkle the Halloween sprinkles over the top of the Oreo cookies. Festive AF, right?!
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached. Your Halloween Oreo Brownie Bars should look golden brown around the edges and slightly soft in the center.
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars. This is the hardest part, I know! But trust me, they’re easier to cut when they’re cool.
While your Halloween Oreo Brownie Bars is working its magic, grab your camera – this is Instagram gold! Seriously, these brownies are so photogenic.

PRESENTATION:

Okay, flavor adventurers, now for the grand finale! Presentation is KEY to making these Halloween Oreo Brownie Bars truly unforgettable.
