A festive Halloween treat combining rich brownies with spooky ghost-shaped sugar cookies and colorful Halloween M&M’s for a fun and delicious brookie dessert perfect for seasonal celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base

  • 1 box store-bought brownie mix
  • Ingredients called for by brownie mix (usually eggs, oil, water)

Cookies and Toppings

  • 1 package Pillsbury ghost shaped sugar cookie dough
  • 1 package Halloween M&M’s (approximately 1 cup, divided)

Instructions

  1. Preheat: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the brookies.
  2. Prepare Brownie Mix: Make the brownie mix according to the package instructions, typically combining the mix with eggs, oil, and water as specified.
  3. Add M&M’s to Batter: Gently mix in ¼ cup of Halloween M&M’s into the prepared brownie batter for candy pockets within the brookies.
  4. Spread Batter: Pour and spread the brownie batter evenly into a greased 9 x 13 inch baking pan to create an even layer.
  5. Top with M&M’s and Cookie Dough: Evenly sprinkle the remaining Halloween M&M’s on top of the brownie batter. Then, place 15 pieces of the ghost-shaped sugar cookie dough evenly over the batter surface for a spooky look.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 28-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs and the edges are slightly crispy.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the brookies to cool before cutting into squares and serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute the ghost-shaped cookie dough with any themed sugar cookie dough for other holidays.
  • Ensure the cookie dough pieces are spread evenly to prevent overcrowding during baking.
  • Letting the brookies cool thoroughly helps the treat set and makes it easier to cut.
  • Store leftover brookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
