Oreo Layered Halloween Brownies (Print version)

Fudgy Oreo Layered Halloween Brownies with orange frosting, chocolate frosting, and a crunchy cookie topping.

# Ingredients:

For the brownie base

01 - 1 box (18-19 oz) fudgy brownie mix
02 - 2 large eggs
03 - 1/3 cup (80 ml) vegetable oil
04 - 1/3 cup (80 ml) milk
05 - 18 Halloween Oreos with orange creme, whole

For the frosting layers

06 - 1 tub (16 oz or 450 g) vanilla frosting
07 - Orange creme scraped from 6 Halloween Oreos
08 - 1 teaspoon orange gel food coloring, plus more if needed
09 - 1 tub (16 oz or 450 g) chocolate frosting
10 - 8 Halloween Oreos, roughly crushed

# Instructions:

01 - Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on two sides.
02 - In a mixing bowl, stir the brownie mix, eggs, oil, and milk until smooth and no dry streaks remain. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
03 - Arrange the whole Halloween Oreos in a single layer over the brownie batter. Press them in lightly so they sit flat.
04 - Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the edges are set and a tester in the center comes out with moist crumbs. Cool completely in the pan.
05 - Scrape the orange creme from 6 Oreos into the vanilla frosting. Add orange gel food coloring and stir until smooth and bright.
06 - Spread the orange frosting evenly over the cooled brownies. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, until the frosting feels firm enough to touch lightly.
07 - Spread chocolate frosting over the chilled orange layer. Scatter crushed Oreos over the top, then slice into squares with a warm, wiped knife.

# Good to know:

01 - Cool the brownie base completely before frosting for clean layers.
02 - Use gel food coloring rather than liquid color to avoid thinning the frosting.
03 - Best served slightly chilled or at cool room temperature.
