Ingredients & Equipment Used In This Recipe
While most ingredients can be bought in grocery stores, for your convenience, any specialized or notable ingredients (and equipment) needed for this recipe have been listed below and linked to Amazon or other stores if available online.
It does not include staple ingredients such as oil, salt, sugar, etc., as you’re likely to have those in your kitchen. The complete list of ingredients with measurements is found in the recipe card.
- Dairy – Heavy Cream (Double Cream)
- Box of Brownie Mix – and the ingredients to make them, or you could use your favorite brownie recipe, or buy a tray of brownies ready-made.
- Oreo Cookies – reserve the créme inside
- Candy Eyeballs
Recipes on The Purple Pumpkin Blog use both cup measurements and/or weighted measurements. American cups and kitchen food scales are handy pieces of equipment to have in your kitchen as it means you’ll be able to make all of the different recipes on my blog. I try to give American, imperial, and metric measurements in my recipes. Please note, you can mix cup measurements with weighted measurements, but never mix imperial (pounds, ounces, pints, etc.,) with metric (kilograms, grams, litres, etc.,).

Batty Brownies
Halloween is just around the corner, and these Bat Brownies are a must for your party table!
Ingredients
- Box of Brownie Mix - plus the ingredients to make them
- 5 Oreo Chocolate Sandwich Cookies
- ½ tsp heavy cream
- Candy Eyeball Sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare brownies as instructed. Bake and cool, but do not cut yet.
- While the brownies cool, carefully separate the two Oreo halves and scrape créme filling off with dull knife into small bowl. Then cut each Oreo in half to create two bat wings.
- Add the heavy cream to the Oreo créme and mix until you get a spreadable consistency.
- Cut brownies into 16 equal pieces, and cut two slits about halfway along the top to insert the Oreo bat wings. Use the image below for guidance. Carefully insert the Oreo halves at a slight angle to give the appearance of bat wings.
- Dab a little of the créme mixture on the back of two eyeballs and place them in front of the bat wings to bring the bat brownies to life.
- Repeat with the remaining brownies. Enjoy and Happy Halloween!
