Ingredients

For the Brownie Layer:

  • ½ cup all purpose flour
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • ⅓ cup melted coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

For the Cream Cheese Layer:

  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 egg
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • orange food coloring
  • candy eyes
  • Halloween sprinkles

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350° F. Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with foil or parchment paper, grease, and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugars, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well incorporated.
  • Add eggs, melted coconut oil, and vanilla to the flour mixture, and fold until all flour is wet and you have a thick batter.
  • Pour brownie layer into prepared pan and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together room temperature cream cheese, egg, and powdered sugar.
  • Once there are no more lumps in the cream cheese mixture, add orange food coloring.
  • Top with sprinkles and candy eyes.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes or until it is no longer jiggling in the center.
  • Let the brownies cool completely in order to make clean cuts.

Notes

  • You can use vegetable oil in place of the coconut oil.
  • Line the baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy removal.
  • Refrigerate leftovers up to 5 days.
  • Smaller candy eyes tend to melt during baking. If this happens, just add some new ones while the brownies are hot.
  • The cream cheese layer may crack. It just adds to the spookiness!
