I’ve been a bit obsessed with all the new varieties of Oreos showing up at the store lately. So many amazing flavors! And, then there are those Oreo Thins. Have you tried them? Don’t hold back, they are incredible!
On my last trip to the store a package of seasonal Halloween Oreo Cookies popped into my shopping cart and demanded that I immediately come home and put them in a recipe. Like the good girl that I am, I obeyed the all powerful Halloween Oreos and came home and got to work on these festive layered bars.
Or, something like that…
We’re pretty crazy about Halloween here and there is no better way to get in the spirit of things then with some fun seasonal baking.
If you’ve never heard the term “Brookie” let me enlighten you. It’s when you take cookie dough and brownie batter and bake them together in one recipe, typically in cookie or bar form.
Genius, right?
I took it one step further in the spirit of the holiday and sandwiched a layer of orange creme filled Halloween Oreo Cookies between the layers.
It starts with a basic, from-scratch chocolate chip cookie dough for the bottom layer, topped with rows of Oreos, and then the whole thing is topped off with a brownie layer. To makes things easy, I went with a boxed brownie mix which means that this recipe is ready to go into the oven in nothing flat.
I’ve never been blessed with great decorating skills which is one of the reasons why I love this recipe so much. There’s literally no decorating involved; no special skills needed. Just slice and serve and that vibrant orange pop of color adds a super festive touch.
The recipe is baked in a 13- x 9-inch baking dish and yields 48 small bars which makes it perfect for feeding a crowd. Just the thing for any Halloween bash, class party, or bake sale.
Watch the quick video below to see how easy it is to put them together. Be sure to watch it to the end to see the “monsters” that come out of the woodwork when I bake!

Is the oil, eggs, and water for the brownies in addition to the water, oil, and eggs required on the box or do you ignore the box directions and add the amount you suggest?
Hi Devin. The water, oil, and eggs listed are what was required for the box mix I used. I suggest following the directions on the box.
Looks wonderful
