Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Mix

  • 1 box store-bought brownie mix
  • Ingredients needed to prepare brownie mix as per package (usually eggs, oil, and water)
  • ¼ cup Halloween M&M’s

Toppings

  • 1 package Pillsbury ghost-shaped sugar cookie dough
  • Additional Halloween M&M’s for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat: Preheat your oven to 350 ℉ (175 ℃) to ensure an even baking temperature.
  2. Prepare Brownie Batter: Make the brownie mix according to the package instructions, typically combining the mix with specified eggs, oil, and water until smooth.
  3. Add Mix-ins: Fold ¼ cup of Halloween M&M’s into the prepared brownie batter to add bursts of candy flavor throughout.
  4. Spread Batter: Pour the brownie batter evenly into a greased 9 x 13 inch baking pan, smoothing the surface for uniform thickness.
  5. Add Toppings: Evenly sprinkle additional Halloween M&M’s on top of the batter, then place 15 pieces of the ghost-shaped sugar cookie dough evenly over the batter surface.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 28 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs and the edges appear slightly crispy.
  7. Cool and Serve: Let the brookies cool somewhat in the pan before slicing into squares and serving to enjoy the delightful combination of brownie and cookie textures.

Notes

  • Ensure the baking pan is well-greased to prevent sticking.
  • Adjust baking time slightly if using a different size pan to avoid under- or over-baking.
  • For extra festive touch, consider adding Halloween-themed sprinkles along with M&M’s.
  • Let brookies cool before cutting to maintain shape and texture.
