Equipment

  • 9x13-inch baking pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Electric mixer or whisk
  • Offset spatula
  • Sharp Knife warm under water for clean cuts

Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
  • 1/2 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp espresso powder (optional)
  • 1 package regular Oreos (about 36 cookies)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tbsp heavy cream or milk
  • 1/2 cup crushed Oreos (for frosting)
  • as needed orange and black gel food coloring
  • as needed whole/broken Oreos, candy eyes, gummy worms, Halloween sprinkles

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13 pan with parchment and lightly spray with cooking spray.
  • Melt butter and 1 cup chocolate chips in microwave. Stir in both sugars, let cool 5 mins. Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla and espresso powder.
  • Whisk flour, cocoa, salt, and baking powder. Fold into wet mixture. Stir in remaining ½ cup chocolate chips.
  • Spread half of the brownie batter in pan. Arrange whole Oreos in a grid, press gently. Cover with remaining batter and smooth over.
  • Bake for 30–35 mins, until toothpick between Oreos has moist crumbs. Cool completely before frosting.
  • Beat cream cheese and powdered sugar 2–3 mins. Add cream to loosen. Divide and color as desired. Mix crushed Oreos into white portion.
  • Spread frosting over cooled brownies. Decorate with Oreos, eyes, candy, or frosting designs. Chill 30 mins to set.
  • Lift brownies using parchment, cut with a warm knife. Wipe blade between slices. Serve at room temp.

Notes

Let brownies cool completely before frosting. Use regular Oreos for baking — Double Stuf can get soggy. Make ahead and decorate the day of for best texture. Store chilled but serve at room temp for gooey bites.
