Ingredients
Brownies
- 1 box brownie mix + ingredients to make brownies
- green cookie icing
- 13 Oreo cookies crumbled
- 5 ounces candy pumpkins
Chocolate ganache
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven and line a 9-inch square pan with a two-inch overhang or use a cooking spray to grease the bottom and sides of the pan.
- Bake the brownies according to the box directions in a 9x9 pan. You want the brownies to be fudgy and dry and crumbly.
- Allow the brownies to completely cool in the pan before lifting them out of the pan.
- Make Oreo crumbs by adding about 13 Oreo cookies in a food processor and blending them to make Oreo dirt.
- To make the chocolate ganache, heat the heavy cream on the stovetop until it is just beginning to boil and remove it from the heat.
- Add the chocolate chips to the heavy cream and let it sit for a few minutes.
- Whisk the ganache mixture until it is smooth and allow it to cool slightly before pouring it evenly over the top of the brownie.
- Sprinkle the Oreo crumbs on top of the frosting and gently press down into the ganache so the Oreo crumbs will stick.
- Next, use green cookie icing to draw small green lines to resemble garden rows before placing your candy pumpkins on top of the brownies.
Notes
- Underbake the brownies slightly so they stay fudgy under the ganache.
- Let the ganache cool a bit before pouring or it runs off. Press Oreo crumbs in while the ganache is still tacky.
- Space candy pumpkins so every brownie square gets one.
- Store in the refrigerator since ganache is used.
- Chocolate frosting can replace ganache — no refrigeration needed.
