  • Category: Dessert
  • Method: Baking
  • Cuisine: American
  • Diet: Vegetarian

Ingredients

  • 1 box brownie mix (or homemade brownie batter)
  • Eggs, oil, and water (as required by brownie mix)
  • 1 cup chocolate frosting or ganache
  • ½ cup crushed chocolate cookies (e.g., Oreos)
  • 12–16 candy pumpkins
  • Green icing or melted green candy melts
  • Optional: mini pretzels (for decoration or “fencing”)

Instructions

  1. Prepare brownie batter as directed on the box or per your homemade recipe. Pour into a greased or parchment-lined 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Bake according to directions, then let the brownies cool completely in the pan.
  3. Spread a layer of chocolate frosting or ganache over the cooled brownies.
  4. Sprinkle crushed cookies over the frosting to create a “dirt” effect.
  5. Press candy pumpkins into the brownies, spacing them to resemble a pumpkin patch.
  6. Use green icing to pipe vines and leaves around the pumpkins.
  7. Let the brownies set for 15–20 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Swirl in canned pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice to the batter for a pumpkin-flavored twist.
  • Use cream cheese frosting for a richer, tangier topping.
  • Add gummy worms or candy eyes for a spooky Halloween version.
  • Chill brownies before decorating to prevent melting or sliding.
