Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Base
- 1 box brownie mix (plus ingredients listed on the box, usually eggs, oil, and water)
- 1/4 teaspoon black food coloring (optional for a darker look)
Topping
- 1 cup vanilla frosting (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/4 teaspoon orange food coloring
- 6-8 Halloween Oreo cookies, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup Halloween-themed candies (like candy corn, mini M&Ms, or gummy worms)
- Sprinkles (optional, for extra color and fun)
Instructions
- Prepare the Brownie Batter: Follow the instructions on the brownie mix box to prepare the batter, usually combining the mix with eggs, oil, and water. Add 1/4 teaspoon black food coloring to the batter if you want a darker, more Halloween-themed crust. Mix thoroughly until the color is evenly distributed.
- Bake the Brownie Base: Pour the prepared batter into a greased 12-inch pizza pan or round baking dish to create a pizza shape. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean but still moist. Let the brownie cool completely before adding toppings.
- Prepare the Frosting: While the brownie cools, tint the vanilla frosting with the 1/4 teaspoon of orange food coloring, stirring until the color is uniform and vibrant.
- Spread the Frosting: Once the brownie is cooled, evenly spread the orange-colored vanilla frosting over the entire surface to create the ‘sauce’ layer of the pizza.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the roughly chopped Halloween Oreo cookies over the frosted brownie to represent a spooky texture. Then scatter the Halloween-themed candies like candy corn, mini M&Ms, or gummy worms across the surface for vibrant color and fun textures. If desired, add sprinkles for extra festivity.
- Serve: Slice the Halloween Oreo Brownie Pizza into 12 slices and serve immediately or keep refrigerated for up to 2 days for optimal freshness.
Notes
- Ensure the brownie is completely cooled before adding frosting to prevent melting.
- Use a pizza pan for the perfect round shape, but any round baking dish works.
- For a homemade twist, make your own vanilla frosting rather than using store-bought.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- This recipe is easily customizable with other Halloween-themed candies or colors.
