Ingredients
- 12 oz dark chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup (8 oz) unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 tsp instant espresso powder
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- 5 eggs, room temperature
- 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 20 Oreos
- Candy eyes (optional, but spooky!)
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prep Your Pan
Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a 9×9 pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal. - Melt the Chocolate 🍫
In a large bowl over simmering water, melt the chopped chocolate, butter, and espresso powder. Stir until smooth. - Mix in the Sugars
Turn off heat. Whisk in granulated and brown sugar until fully combined. Let cool slightly. - Add the Eggs 🥚
Whisk in 3 eggs, then the remaining 2. Don’t overmix—overbeating = cakey brownies! - Fold in the Dry Ingredients
Gently fold in flour and salt using a rubber spatula. Stop when just a little flour is still visible. - Layer with Oreos
Pour half the batter into your pan. Arrange 12 Oreos over it. Top with the rest of the batter. - Add the Final Touch
Crumble the remaining 8 Oreos and sprinkle on top. Press gently into the batter. - Bake to Gooey Perfection 🎃
Bake for 30 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through. Brownies are done when a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs. - Cool & Decorate
Let cool completely. Lift from pan using parchment, cut into squares, and top with candy eyes for a spooky finish!
