Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Layer
- 1 box store-bought brownie mix (with required ingredients listed on the box)
Cookie Layer
- 1 package Pillsbury ghost-shaped sugar cookie dough
Topping
- 1 package Halloween M&M’s
Instructions
- Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the longer sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the exposed sides of the pan to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Brownie Layer: Follow the directions on the brownie mix box to prepare the batter. Pour it evenly into the prepared pan to form the brownie base.
- Add Cookie Layer: Break apart or crumble the ghost-shaped sugar cookie dough evenly over the brownie batter, ensuring it covers the surface uniformly.
- Add Halloween Candies: Sprinkle the Halloween M&M’s evenly over the cookie dough layer for festive color and added sweetness.
- Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 35 to 45 minutes. The edges of the cookie layer should be set and golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the brownie layer should come out with moist crumbs but not wet batter.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the brookies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan on a wire rack for at least 2 to 3 hours. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the slab from the pan, then cut into squares. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.
Notes
- Using parchment paper with an overhang makes it easy to lift the brookies out of the pan without breaking.
- Be careful not to overbake to keep the brownies moist and the cookie layer soft.
- Store brookies at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days for best freshness.
- For extra festive fun, substitute Halloween M&M’s with other Halloween-themed candies or sprinkles.
