These Graveyard Brownies are such a fun sweet treat to celebrate Halloween!

Graveyard Brownies - Sprinkle Some Sugar

Can you guys believe Halloween is already right around the corner?! I LOVE this time of year so much. Maybe even more than I love Christmas, and that's saying a lot. All of the Fall/Halloween festivities like pumpkin + apple picking, apple cider donut eating (..yes, I consider that a festivity), pumpkin carving, hay rides, costumes, spooky decorations, etc. make me so giddy! Tonight is the first time since before John was born that Mike and I are going to a haunted attraction. To say I'm excited is an understatement! Since having John, I'm much more of a scaredy cat than I was before for some reason, I think the mom worries took over so this shall be interesting! Anyways. For the actual reason you guys are here: Graveyard Brownies! I think this might be my first actual Halloween-themed dessert here on Sprinkle Some Sugar. I made you guys candy corn fudge but I'm not sure that really counts? These are super fun and easy to make too!

These brownies are perfect for any upcoming Halloween parties or just a spooky sweet snack for the kids to celebrate Halloween in all it's glory! These brownies start with a box mix. I used Betty Crocker™ Supreme Brownie Original brownie mix and then they are frosted with Betty Crocker™ Rich and Creamy Chocolate frosting. Make sure to put a good amount of frosting on top because you will need it for later to stick the toppings on! The frosting is so freaking delicious I had to stop myself from eating it with a spoon so I didn't get a stomachache. I love homemade frostings, but canned frostings will always have a special place in my heart. Boxed mix tip: I always under-bake box brownies ever so slightly just so they stay super fudgy and yummy so if you like gooey brownies, I suggest you do the same!

The frosting is then topped with some crushed Oreo crumbs and then the coolest part is the PEEPS® Brand Marshmallows on top! I stuck mine right on top and smushed them into the frosting so they stay in there (hence, why I had you guys put a generous amount of frosting on there) really well.

Cook Time 30 mins
Total Time 40 mins
Servings 9 very large brownies or 12-16 smaller brownies

Ingredients
  

  • 1 box Betty Crocker Supreme Brownie Original Mix
  • 1 can Betty Crocker Rich and Creamy Chocolate Frosting

  • Halloween PEEPS® multipack

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9x9 pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Prepare and bake brownies according to manufacturer's instructions. I like to bake mine a few minutes less than stated on the box to ensure my brownies are gooey and fudgy. Allow brownies to cool completely.
  • Top cooled brownies with a thick layer of frosting. Sprinkle cookie crumbs on top of the frosting. Insert peeps into the frosting. I used an assortment of ghosts and tombstones and cut my brownies into 9 squares.
