Okay, YUMMMM. Halloween Brownies! Spooky, chocolatey, and SUPER fun. Is there anything better? Honestly. I don’t think so.
When you take a fudgy, gooey brownie and level it up with some festive Halloween flair? Oof. Wow. This is peak fall food.
I’m not even going to beat around the bush about it. You need to know about these 17 Halloween brownie recipes right this very second.
1. Spooky Eyed Halloween Brownies (Dairy-Free)
Need to make some festive Halloween brownies but you’re short on time? You can give any brownie a makeover with just a few sprinkles and some candy eyes.
They’ll be just as perfect for Halloween as the others, but with way less decorating effort.
2. Hocus Pocus Spellbook Brownies
Are you a massive Hocus Pocus fan? For us, watching it every single year is a Halloween must-do. And now you can show off your passion for the best Halloween movie with these brownies.
They do ask for a bit more creativity and work (but probably less than you’re imagining!). Trust me, the final result is so worth it.
Every single brownie looks exactly like Winifred’s spooky, one-eyed spell book.
3. Classic Fat Witch Dark Chocolate Brownies
Okay, so there’s not much that screams Halloween about these brownies at first glance. Except maybe the name.
The ‘Fat Witch’ part is actually a nod to the bakery they’re inspired by, not the treats themselves. Still, they totally earned their place here because they are just that amazing.
And honestly, a copycat from a bakery called Fat Witch? That feels perfectly on-theme for Halloween to me!
4. Graveyard Halloween Brownies
Yes, these brownies really are covered in little gravestones. But even with that, they might be too cute to be truly spooky. I mean, Milano cookie gravestones aren’t exactly terrifying.
When you put a little candied pumpkin next to them, it’s a done deal. You’ve officially crossed from frightening into totally adorable territory.
On top of that, they’re thick, chewy, and so chocolatey. What could be better?
5. Witch’s Brew Brownies
Do you always find yourself with a mountain of candy after Halloween is over? If that’s you, use it to make these witch’s brew brownies.
You’ll just need a boxed brownie mix and whatever the box calls for. After that, just pile on your leftover candy and some candy eyes. It’s as simple as that, and it will give you a major chocolate fix.
6. Halloween Pumpkin Brownies
These multi-hued brownies look like they’re topped with lots of tiny pumpkins. But that’s not the only pumpkin-y thing about them.
They also have a half cup of pumpkin puree right in the batter. And we can’t forget the amazing pumpkin pie spice! It only takes 5 minutes to get these ready for the oven and 40 more to bake.
If you’re a fan of pumpkin and chocolate, you’re going to fall in love with these chewy treats. When we’re talking fall favorites, these are tough to beat.
7. Halloween Swirl Cream Cheese Brownies
These beautiful orange and black brownies are a true Halloween work of art. And their flavor is on a whole other level.
They’re so rich and fudgy, and the indulgent cream cheese layer makes them even more delicious. You might be making them for the kids, but trust me, the adults are going to be all over these, too.
8. High Hat Brownie Cupcakes
I’m not sure if I put the best one last, but I definitely saved the most over-the-top treat for the end. These are more than just brownies; they’re brownie cupcakes.
And yes, they are every bit as incredible as they sound. Each cupcake is made with a double helping of brownies. A super-rich marshmallow fluff frosting separates them.
Then, each one gets more frosting on top and a dip in chocolate! And if that wasn’t enough, they’re finished off with a cherry right on top.
9. Vampire Brownies Frightfully Fun Halloween Treat
Bring some Halloween vibes and a minty kick to these brownies with Peppermint Patties. Grab a brownie mix from the store, or use the homemade recipe you love most.
Then, you’ll just add some little candy eyes and fangs to your Peppermint Patties. Place them in organized (or messy) rows on the brownies, and that’s all there is to it!
10. Halloween Candy Brownies
These Halloween candy brownies are a lot like the witch’s brew version above. The main difference is that you’ll put your Halloween candy on the bottom of these ones.
Plus, this recipe is for homemade brownies, not a box mix. You can decorate them with little tombstones and bones like in the picture if you’re feeling it. They’re unbelievably yummy either way.
11. Ghost Brownies
Making little decorative ghosts has seriously never been simpler. All you have to do is make some homemade marshmallows.
Then, you just smear them into ghost-like shapes on your brownies. A few dots of black icing for the eyes, and you are good to go.
Pro Tip: Grab some edible glitter if you want your ghosts to look extra supernatural. It gives them a shimmer and a much more ghostly vibe.
12. Monster Brownies
Okay, spoiler time: there aren’t any real monsters in these monster brownies. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t a total Halloween favorite.
You’ll load them up with M&Ms, peanuts, chocolate chips, and so much more. Every single bite is a monster-sized mouthful of sweetness.
13. Spider Web Halloween Brownies
Even if you skip the decorations, this brownie recipe is one of my top picks. It makes the absolute softest, most melt-in-your-mouth brownies.
They’re so chewy and chocolatey, and the edges don’t get super crispy like some brownies do. To make them festive for Halloween, just add some spiderwebs with white icing.
It’s so easy and doesn’t call for any fancy tools or decorating talent.
14. Leftover Halloween Candy Bar Brownies
Here’s one more easy boxed brownie recipe that you can dress up with leftover candy. It takes about 10 minutes to prep and another 40 minutes to cook.
They come out rich, fudgy, chewy, and full of chocolate flavor. Don’t be afraid to get a little wild with the Halloween candy, though.
You don’t have to use just chocolate candy. Toss in peanut butter, toffee, caramels, and more for a richer and more interesting flavor.
15. Candy Corn Halloween Brownies
Some folks don’t love candy corn for Halloween, but I think it’s fantastic. It’s especially delicious on top of thick, fudgy brownies.
These are sweet, chewy, vibrant, and so good. And if you can make brownies from a box, you can whip these up in no time.
16. Monster Mash Brownies
There’s absolutely no question that these brightly hued brownies are made for Halloween. But you don’t have to save them just for October.
They would also be amazing for a kid’s birthday party! Any kid would go for their multi-colored, spectacularly swirled look. And those candy googly eyes are just too cute to pass up.
