How To Create Perfect Halloween Brookie Eyeballs
Don’t bat an eyeball or you’ll miss this short instructional area, so you too can go from novice to pro-Halloween eyeball brookie treat maker in seconds! Stay sharp! Here’s a concise guide to mastering the art of the brookie eyeball.
Step 1: Brownie Prep TimeFor Your Halloween Oreo Brookies
Follow the exact instructions on your brownie mix box for both oven settings and mixture preparation.
Step 2: Get the Brookie Baking Tray Ready
Give the brookie pan a good spray-down with non-stick spray. Next, position an Oreo onto each of the 6 designated cavities in the tray.
Step 3: Assembling the Halloween Brookie Eyeballs
With your brownie mix at the ready, carefully fill each cavity.
A pro tip: keep the Oreo stable by holding it in place as you pour, ensuring it stays central. And, yes, that Oreo is meant to be completely enveloped by the brownie mix.
Step 4: Halloween Eyeball Brookie Baking Time
Proceed to bake the Halloween Eyeball Brookie as per the box’s recommendation. After baking, let the brookies chill in the tray for a while before transferring them to a cooling rack.
Give them a little more cooling time once out of the tray (follow your recipe card for specifics).
Step 5: Creating The Halloween Brookie Eyesballs
Once cooled, spoon some whipped topping onto each brookie. Crown it with an eyeball (ping pong ball), positioning it slightly angled for that eerie effect. You can also experiment with alternate toppings if you wish.
Last step? Serve immediately or pop them in the fridge if you’re using whipped topping.
Relevant Baking Tips For the Halloween Brookie Eyeballs
Since I make these treats quite often, I am able to offer some insider’s perspective as it’s tried and true advice.
- always coat the pan with nonstick even if it is nonstick!
- always cover the sandwich cookie,
- never remove the baked brookie from the pan until it is fully cooled or you will have a broken eyeball brookie
- always allow the Brookie Halloween eyeballs to sit after you have removed them from the pan for additional time
- For immediate serving, whipped topping works well, however, you can also fill it with icing that needs to set
Popular Substitutions For Halloween Brookie Eyeballs
- For those of you who love caramel, grab those caramel bites and drop a few in each cavity.
- If you prefer to add in some rice cereal, go for it, as it provides a crunch.
- Add crumbled chocolate bars atop the icing
- use red gel icing to make bloodshot eyes instead of using eyeballs
- use candy eyes to make the eye area instead of whipped topping
How Do You Store a Leftover Halloween Eyeball Brookie?
The answer to how to store leftover Halloween brownie Brookies really depends on 3 items:
- did you fill the Brookie eyeballs?
- do you like frozen leftovers?
- will you have leftovers?
As long as you have not filled the eyeball chocolate brownies with the whipped topping you can leave them on the counter on a covered cake pedestal or use an airtight container with a lid.
If you have added the whipped topping you will need to refrigerate the Halloween oreo brookie eyeballs because that is not able to sit out on the counter!
For any extra brookie eyeballs, you can place them in a zippered freezer bag and store them for up to six months and then use them as regular brookies instead of eyeballs!
