Step‑By‑Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and grease a 9"x13" baking pan with non-stick spray. Line with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Prepare the brownie mix according to package instructions and pour the batter into the pan.
- In a mixing bowl, combine creamy peanut butter and softened unsalted butter. Beat until fluffy, about 4–5 minutes.
- Add light brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix for about 4 minutes until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Fold in oats and chocolate chips.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, then drop spoonfuls over the brownie base.
- Sprinkle Halloween decorations over the batter.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes and check for doneness with a toothpick; let cool for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare frosting by beating together butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream until creamy. Add food coloring if desired.
- Once brownies are cooled, pipe frosting over the top and add candy eye decorations.
- Slice into squares and serve at your spooky celebration.
