Ingredients
Brownie Base
- 1 18-ounce box brownie mix + required ingredients (usually eggs, oil, and water as per box instructions)
Toppings
- 1 cup Oreo cookies, crushed
- 1 cup Heath candy bars, crushed
- 1 16-ounce container chocolate icing
- 1 7-ounce container orange cookie icing
- ¼ cup autumn-colored sprinkles
- ½ cup candy corn
- 2 tablespoons edible eyes
- ½ cup M&M's
Instructions
- Prepare Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a 12 to 14-inch pizza pan with cooking spray and set it aside to prevent sticking.
- Mix and Spread Brownie Batter: Prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions, including required additional ingredients. Pour the batter evenly onto the prepared pizza pan and spread it smoothly using a rubber or icing spatula.
- Bake Brownie Crust: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 23 minutes, or until the edges are set and crisp. Remove from the oven and cool completely on a cooling rack to ensure toppings adhere well.
- Crush Cookies and Candy Bars: While baking, place Oreo cookies in one resealable bag and Heath candy bars in another. Use a rolling pin or heavy object to crush each into small pieces. Transfer to separate bowls and set aside.
- Frost Brownie Crust: Once cooled, spread the chocolate icing evenly over the brownie base using an icing spatula for a smooth layer.
- Create Spider Web Design: Fill a piping bag with orange cookie icing and pipe a spider web pattern over the chocolate icing to create a festive Halloween look.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle crushed Oreos over the chocolate layer. Decorate the edges with autumn-colored sprinkles, then evenly distribute the crushed Heath bars, candy corn, edible eyes, and M&M's over the pizza.
- Serve: Cut into equal slices and enjoy this Halloween-themed dessert pizza with friends and family.
Notes
- Ensure the brownie crust is completely cooled before adding icing to avoid melting and sliding toppings.
- Use a piping bag or zip-top bag with a small cut corner to create precise icing designs.
- Customize toppings based on your preference or seasonal treats.
- Store leftover dessert pizza in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days to maintain freshness.
